[Chorus]
Lately I’ve been a mess
And it’s kinda hard to confess
In normal conversation
When no one's asked me yet
Lately I’m short of breath
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ahhh ah ah ah
[Verse 1]
There’s always time to breathe
Not everything’s a chore
If I race through every task today
I’ll end it feeling bored
Not all things go on checklists
Not all things run by clocks
The joy will be forgotten
When I end and cross it off
[Chorus]
Lately I’ve been a mess
And it’s kinda hard to confess
In normal conversation
When no one's asked me yet
Lately I’m short of brеath
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ahhh ah ah ah
(ahahahah)
[Verse 2]
It’s hard to form a prayer
When my heart is confusеd
Got to stop from getting bitter
Stop from feeling used
This mind fire will pass
And I will (fall asleep) fall alseep
And all these fleeting pleas
I know they don’t depend on me
[Chorus]
(ah) Lately I’ve been a mess
And it’s kinda hard to confess
In normal conversation
When no one's asked me yet
(ah) Lately I’m short of breath
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ahhh ah ah ah
[Bridge]
Falling down a spiral
Feeling fragile
Finding purpose
Holding onto handles
Drifting sideways
To the surface
Falling (falling) down a spiral
Feeling fragile
Finding purpose
Holding (holding on) onto handles
Drifting sideways
To the surface
[Chorus]
Lately I’ve been a mess
And it’s kinda hard to confess
In normal conversation
When no one's asked me yet
Lately I’m short of breath
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ahhh ah ah ah
