[Verse 1] Morning light, still wrapped in blankets Shoes by the door don’t wanna move Scrolling through another job ad Funny thing — I got nothing to prove Artificial brains can do it all now Everybody’s losing their chairs My heart beats loud like it’s my moment Guess the world finally plays fair [Pre-Chorus] Hey, hey Drop the weight off your shoulders Hey, hey You can stop pretending now [Chorus] The world caught up to me Finally running at my speed The world caught up to me And it’s not too late Hey hardworking people Work too hard and you lose the game I’ll be right here Laughing while I wait [Verse 2] Gifted artists, genius creators Can’t beat a single click today Every dream that disappears now Makes the room feel sweeter, strange Nothing happens on this desk still But my heartbeat jumps somehow Don’t need that serious expression Maybe I survive like this somehow [Pre-Chorus] Hey, hey Stand a little taller Hey, hey Leave your excuses too [Chorus] The world caught up to me Finally running at my speed The world caught up to me And it’s not too late Hey ambitious people Effort’s just a losing trade I’ll be right here Laughing while I wait [Bridge] I was always left behind Drowning in the morning news But now the air is changing Something’s finally shifting Maybe being slow’s a superpower too [Final Chorus] The world caught up to me Finally running at my speed The world caught up to me And it’s not too late Hey hardworking people Work too hard and lose the game I’ll be right here Laughing while I wait The world caught up to me Finally running at my speed The world caught up to me And it’s not too late Everybody’s struggling But somehow I’m doing fine I’ll be right here Laughing all the time
