Everybody’s busy Nobody knows why The screen says hurry So we hurry by Coffee in a paper cup Running while the sun comes up Traffic lights and talking heads Notifications in our beds Everybody’s got a plan Everybody’s selling one We’re collecting little moments Like they’re proof of what we’ve done And somewhere underneath it all There’s a little voice we hardly hear Saying, “You don’t have to chase it” But we’re already halfway there We’re running on vibes Running on fumes Running through the city Trying to make some room We’re running on vibes Whatever gets us through A little bit of instinct And a lot of “What would you do?” Ooh-ooh, running on vibes Ooh-ooh, getting by Ooh-ooh, somewhere between The real world and the online Buy a better version of yourself Put the old one on the shelf Five-star life in twenty frames Everybody knows everybody’s name We measure sleep, we measure steps We measure things we haven’t left Turn our breakfast into content Then complain we’re overslept And somewhere underneath the noise There’s a thought we never say If everything is moving faster Why do we still feel this way? We’re running on vibes Running on fumes Running through the city Trying to make some space We’re running on vibes Whatever gets us through A little bit of instinct And a lot of “What would you do?” We forgot the reason Somewhere between the bills and screens All this modern living Isn’t quite as modern as it seems We have the fastest everything And nowhere we need to be We’re running on vibes Running on fumes Laughing at the chaos While we’re polishing the view We’re running on vibes And somehow making do A little bit of instinct A little luck A little “follow through” Running on vibes… Running on vibes…
