[Verse 1] You see, when I was a kid We had a Calliandra in the garden It’s funny thinking that All my life, unknowingly I tried to be a little like this tree Trying to keep the peace [Chorus] Oh, I swear I try I try to be stable So you can keep spiraling I try to stay reasonable But, oh my! My "keep-it-cool" attitude Has a limited latitude [Verse 1] I want to be high-functioning But today I am malfunctioning Anxious thoughts overflowing my brain Crossing the lines I defined for them My body is shutting down Beyond what my mind can control [Chorus] Oh, I swear I try I try to be stable So you can keep spiraling I try to stay reasonable But my "keep-it-cool" attitude Has a limited latitude [Outro] [Instrumental]
