Way too long - KMurdock Music Group
I rehearse the laugh before I let it out
Check my own reaction, make sure it's the right amount
Somebody says something funny and I'm two steps behind
Cause I already ran the punchline through my mind
By the time I get there, moments come and gone
I'm still backstage getting ready for a show that's moved on
I think about thinking about it
Talk myself in, talk myself out of it
Everything I do has got a rough draft first and the final version
Never sees the earth
I wanna be the girl who just does things
Says the dumb thing, takes the sharp turn, clips her wings
I wanna move before the map is drawn
But I've been editing myself for way too long
Way too long
Caught a feeling yesterday, a real one, swear to God
Killed it with a diagnosis before it even got half a breath of air
I already knew its name
Origin, prognosis, shelf life, who to blame
Must be nice to feel a thing and just go with it
I dissect the butterfly and wonder where the magic went
I think about thinking about it
Talk myself in, talk myself out of it
Every single move has got a footnote now
And the girl who used to wing it, I don't know how she did that
I wanna be the girl who just does things
Says the dumb thing, takes the sharp turn, clips her wings
I wanna move before the map is drawn
But I've been editing myself for way too long
Way too long
I watched myself fall for somebody once
Like, actually watched it, narrated the whole thing
Knew exactly which chemicals were firing
Knew the exact moment I'd get stupid
And I got stupid anyway
But I was taking notes the entire time
I wanna be the girl who just does things
Says the dumb thing, takes the sharp turn, clips her wings
I wanna move before the map is drawn
But I've been editing myself for way too long
Way too long
Way too long
I'm still editing
Way too long
I'm still editing
