The American singer-songwriter unveiled his new Yuletide tune during his Instagram show, “Current Mood”, dedicating “CVS Bag” to “the trustiest of companions while staying at someone else’s house for the holidays.”
“I fell asleep too early/ I woke up at midnight/ I was hungry/ It was alright, you were there/ CVS bag on the table,” he sings while holding a CVS bag.
He proceeds to unveil what is inside of his shopping bag, crooning that it includes “a thing for my dad,” “a travel thing of Q-tips and an Applebee’s card,” as well as “87 cents in change, mixed in with some cotton from a men’s vitamin range.”
