[Verse 1] I wake up frazzled, already a mess, You roll your eyes saying, “same, I’m under duress.” I’m getting warnings that I need more sleep, You say your rest just bailed and ran twelve miles deep. I say my planner’s got panic in ink, You laugh and tell me you can’t even think. I claim overthinking’s my specialty— You grin, “well hey, that’s just cranky as me.” [Pre-Chorus] I try, try, try To keep the calm inside… [Chorus] We’re spiralin’, fightin’, Barely keep survivin’, Alarms going off like every hour, maybe three. We’re laughin’, cryin’, Power-nappin’, tryin’, If this is “thriving,” someone please disagree. Oh hey— Guess we’re both just cranky as can be. [Verse 2] You’re in the breakroom, your snack’s gone again, I tell you mine vanished— repeat offense ten. You say your coping skills clocked out at noon, I nod and mumble I’ll lose it again soon. You rant your mood swings are wild and extreme, I shrug and tell you I’m living that dream. You joke your app keeps yelling “just breathe,” I say “the audacity— cranky as me.” [Pre-Chorus 2] We try, try, try Not to lose our minds… [Chorus] We’re spiralin’, fightin’, Barely keep survivin’, Alarms going off like every hour, maybe three. We’re laughin’, cryin’, Power-nappin’, tryin’, If this is “thriving,” someone please disagree. Oh hey— Guess we’re both just cranky as can be. [Bridge] You say you’re fine, then you’re suddenly a storm, I say same— my moods never like to conform. You say we’re chaos from mountains to sea, I laugh, “yeah, babe, that’s just cranky as me.” [Final Chorus] We’re spiralin’, fightin’, Barely keep survivin’, Alarms going off like every hour, maybe three. We’re laughin’, cryin’, Power-nappin’, tryin’, This chaos clearly is our shared degree. Oh hey— Life hits different when you’re cranky as me.
