Lyrics

Verse 1

Woke up at noon again

Curtains bleeding amber light

Check my phone before my eyes adjust

Same faces same small talk

Same little rituals I trust

But none of them feel right

Pre-Chorus

And I keep asking the mirror

Who are you supposed to be

Every answer sounds like static

Every version something foreign to me

Chorus

Am I doing this right

Is there a map or a sign

Somebody tell me why I'm here

If I'm just passing time

Am I doing this right

Or just going through the motions

Counting down the hours

Till I disappear

Verse 2

Applied for the good job

Bought the plants that always die

Learned to laugh at the right moments

Stayed quiet when I wanted to cry

And everyone says I'm fine

But fine was never the question I was asking

Pre-Chorus

My mother says just breathe slow

My father says just keep going

But neither one can tell me

Where this road is supposed to be going

Chorus

Am I doing this right

Is there a map or a sign

Somebody tell me why I'm here

If I'm just passing time

Am I doing this right

Or just going through the motions

Counting down the hours

Till I disappear

Bridge

Maybe there is no answer

Maybe the asking is the living

Maybe the fear is just a doorway

That I keep walking through and through

Maybe I'm here to wonder

Maybe wonder is enough

Maybe the point was never

To get it all right

Chorus

Am I doing this right

Is there a map or a sign

Somebody tell me why I'm here

If I'm just passing time

Am I doing this right

Or just going through the motions

Counting down the hours

Till I disappear

Outro

Till I disappear

Till I disappear

Mm

Mm-hmm
