Barely Lived It

Drop

Still scrolling my mind

Your life, not mine

Verse 1

Endless aimless swiping

Thumbs moving fast

Blue light burning behind heavy eyes

Two hours, three

Didn’t feel the time pass

Drifting in someone else's paradise

Not my life

Just borrowed delight

A laugh, a sigh, a dancing monkey

Repeat routines, never try

No movement from my side of the screen

Gotta break free

Chorus

I watched the world but barely lived it

Dreams on standby, hidden, vivid

I say I will, but I don't begin it

Maybe today, or maybe tomorrow

I keep on scrolling, dodging sorrow

I need to rise and let it in

Drop

Still scrolling my mind

Your life, not mine

Verse 2

Maybe you too

Watching them paint, they bake, they grow

I stare at sunlight from inside

My hands don't try, I only know

Someone somewhere makes that dough

Saw climbing mountains, flying drones

But not my sky

I wait, and wait, let life slide

Can’t learn living online alone

Time slips, so slow

Chorus

I watched the world but barely lived it

Dreams on standby, hidden, vivid

Excuses pile, but I keep scrolling

I tell myself tomorrow's golden

I need to rise and let it in

I need to rise and let it in

Bridge

Watch me, watch you, waiting for change

All this knowing, still stuck the same

Watch me, watch you, blinking blue

I close my phone, I think I’ll do

Just something new

Just something true

Chorus

I watched the world but barely lived it

Dreams on standby, hidden, vivid

I say I will, but I don't begin it

Maybe today, or maybe tomorrow

I keep on scrolling, dodging sorrow

Drop

Still scrolling my mind

Your life, not mine

Outro

Maybe today

It starts instead

Maybe today

I lift my head

Maybe today

I do instead
