[Intro] Yeah There's a panda in my head Won't clock out, won't go to bed [Verse 1] Woke up and the black-and-white was already pacing Chewing on my thoughts like they were tender bamboo Every plan I make, he knocks it over laughing Leaves a little mess and says, "That's just what I do" Meetings, deadlines, grown-up talk — he yawns through all of it Then starts a cartwheel right across my frontal lobe I try to lock the door, he finds another hallway Sits in the middle of my mind and calls it home [Pre-Chorus] I tell him quiet He turns the volume up I tell him later He never learned that word [Chorus] There's a panda in my head Rolling round my brain like a bed Black and white, no off switch Steals my peace and calls it rich Panda in my head Won't share the space, won't play dead If you hear me laughing out of nowhere That's the panda in my head [Verse 2] He wants snacks at 3 a.m. and naps at noon Wants the world to slow down just so he can chew I walk into a room and forget why I came He's already built a fort out of my name Friends say I look distant, like I'm somewhere else Yeah — I'm refereeing a panda in a suit of self Sometimes he's soft, sometimes he wrecks the furniture Always cute enough that I don't throw him out [Pre-Chorus] I tell him focus He blinks those round eyes I tell him leave me He just multiplies [Chorus] There's a panda in my head Rolling round my brain like a bed Black and white, no off switch Steals my peace and calls it rich Panda in my head Won't share the space, won't play dead If you hear me laughing out of nowhere That's the panda in my head [Bridge] Maybe he's the part that still wants simple Sleep, bamboo, no performance, no grind Maybe I keep him 'cause the quiet would be lonelier Than a fat little ghost who lives in my mind [Final Chorus] There's a panda in my head Rolling round my brain like a bed Black and white, no off switch Steals my peace and calls it rich Panda in my head Guess he's staying, like I said If you catch me smiling at the ceiling That's the panda in my head
