Already Solved, Sugar

[Verse 1] She used to iron every thought Fold ‘em sharp Stack ‘em in a row Color-code the “should” and “must” Leave her wild side in the shadow Now she’s dancing in her slippers Coffee steam halo in the air Cat’s the only witness To the crown inside her messy hair [Chorus] Already solved Sugar Nothing left to chase Every crooked puzzle piece Found its perfect place She laughs and lets the question fade Like foam on her café au lait Already solved Sugar She swings through every day [Verse 2] She burned the list of better selves Tossed it in the frying pan Flipped it like a Sunday pancake Said “I’m finally my own plan” Now she’s waltzing with the dishes Hip-bump to the cabinet door Neighbors hear her humming Think she’s practicing for a tour (maybe she is) [Chorus] Already solved Sugar Nothing left to chase Every crooked puzzle piece Found its perfect place She wears her yes like favorite jeans Loose and kind and slightly frayed Already solved Sugar She swings through every day [Bridge] [Playful call-and-response Light scatting] Did she fix the world? (mm-mm) Did the world fix her? (oh no) She just stopped pretending She was late to who she was before (ba-da-ba) She missed the meeting (ba-da-ba) But signed the form “I Myself Hereby agree To show up fully as this storm” (hey!) [Chorus] Already solved Sugar Nothing left to chase Every crooked puzzle piece Smiling in its place She toasts the mirror every night “Thanks for sticking through the maze” Already solved Sugar She swings through every day [Outro] Snap of a finger Turn of a page She steps into her own skin Like it’s center stage Soft little shrug Bright little grin “It was easy all along” And she twirls again
