[Intro] Coffee on the counter, phone face down, I’m wearing yesterday’s brave in this town. [Verse 1] I’ve got three little flags on the battlefield, Two loose ends and a lunch I forgot to eat. I crossed one thing off, then I lost the list, Found it in my pocket with a grocery receipt. [Pre-Chorus] One minute I’m a wrecking crew, Next minute, “Who was I meant to get back to?” [Chorus] Am I kicking ass and taking names, Or losing my shoes in a hallway maze? Bad-ass, barely pass—tell me, which one’s true? I’m calling back the person I was supposed to call you. Am I on top, or a step behind? Who am I today? Give me half a sign. [Verse 2] There’s a brave little plan in the back of my head, And a stack of emails that’s learned how to breed. I answer one with a confident “Done!” Then wonder if “Done” was the thing they need. [Pre-Chorus] I can charm a room, I can misplace a name, I can win the day, then forget the game. [Chorus] Am I kicking ass and taking names, Or losing my shoes in a hallway maze? Bad-ass, barely pass—tell me, which one’s true? I’m calling back the person I was supposed to call you. Am I on top, or a step behind? Who am I today? Give me half a sign. [Bridge] Maybe I’m both, and that’s all right, A little bit thunder, a little lost kite. The list can wait; the phone can ring. I’m still the one who can do the next thing. [Final Chorus] I’m kicking ass—and I’m taking names, Even if I spell them wrong in the maze. Bad-ass, barely pass, I can be both too; I’ll find that callback, then I’ll call you. Some days I’m flying, some days I’m behind, Still showing up as this hard-to-file mind. [Outro] Coffee on the counter, phone face down— Who am I today? I’m still around.
