[Intro - Dry, half-sung] “You overthink things.” Wow. Really? Hold on, let me write that down. Right next to “water is wet.” [Verse 1] I know my room’s a crime scene I know I talk too fast I know I make a joke When something hurts and hope it lasts I know I want the spotlight Then complain about the glare I know I’ve got a thousand thoughts And half of them are stairs [Pre-Chorus - Building] You say I need to find myself Like I’ve been missing all these years I’m right here in my underwear With yesterday’s mascara smeared [Chorus - Big, soaring earworm] I know, I know, I knoooow! Can I be a mess and let it go? Round and round and here we go Everybody’s got a way I oughta grow I know, I know, I knoooow! Don’t need another mirror to be shown Let me be a little wrong Without making it a song I know, I know, I know! [Instrumental - Bright guitar hook, driving drums] [Verse 2] I know I text too quickly Then pretend I didn’t care I know I buy new notebooks Like a personality lives in there I know my plants are dying I know the sink’s a state I know that self-improvement Doesn’t have an expiration date [Pre-Chorus] And every little bad habit Gets a documentary in my head Could we skip the commentary? I’d like to eat my toast instead [Chorus] I know, I know, I knoooow! Can I be a mess and let it go? Round and round and here we go Everybody’s got a way I oughta grow I know, I know, I knoooow! Don’t need another mirror to be shown Let me be a little wrong Without making it a song I know, I know, I know! [Bridge - Quiet, intimate] Maybe I won’t fix it tonight Maybe that’s not giving up Maybe I’m just twenty-eight And being twenty-eight’s enough No lesson in the laundry No meaning in the rain Sometimes I’m just a girl Who’s having an annoying day [Instrumental - Dreamy guitar swell] [Final Chorus - Full band, layered harmonies] I know, I know, I knoooow! Can I be a mess and let it go? Round and round and here we go Everybody’s got a way I oughta grow I know, I know, I knoooow! Let the whole damn world keep spinning on Let me be a little wrong Let me sing my stupid song I know, I know, I know! [Outro - Instruments fall away] Maybe tomorrow I’ll figure it out. Or buy another notebook. …Probably the notebook.
