Can't Relax

Verse 1

I used to float through campus just fine

No cold hands, no twitch down my spine

Then—BAM!—you showed up in calculus

Sat next to me, took my good brain,

kinda broke it in half

Now I can't chill

I can't stay still

My pencil snaps when I try to subtract

Got my mind doing doughnuts,

I feel like a hamster on a wheel!

I just

Chorus

Can’t relax

I can’t sit back

It’s just me and my brain on attack

Don’t know why

and my mind running track

Post-Chorus

Verse 2

Can’t finish notes, can’t find my socks

Chorus

Can’t relax

I can’t sit back

It’s just me and my brain on attack

and my mind running track

Post-Chorus

I overthink, from the first thought to the in-between

Maybe nervous is just my new routine

My brain’s a runaway train

I just

Chorus

Can’t relax

I can’t sit back

It’s just me and my brain on attack

Don’t know why

My hearts doing jumping jacks

and my mind running track

Post-Chorus

No I can’t, I can’t

I CAN'T RELAX
