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
