Please bring me back to life
I'm stuck too deep inside
Please take my hand
I wanna make you mhm, mmm
[Chorus]
Try to look fresher
Try to live better
I gotta get out of bed
I need a good kick, kick in the head
Try to lose pressure
Try to move faster
I gotta get out of bed
I need a good kick, kick in the head (Uh)
[Verse 1]
I know you're tired, tired of fightin' the world
I know you had it, it slipped out from under you, girl
I can't be honest, honest isn't kind
This ain't the hardest, you'll keep on fallin' behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Please bring me back to lifе
I'm stuck too deep inside
Please takе my hand
I wanna make you everything I got
It's easier to sleep
Than let go of my dreams
Please take my hand
I wanna make ya mhm, mmm
Try to look fresher (Uh)
Try to live better (Uh)
I gotta get out of bed
I need a good kick, kick in the head
Try to lose pressure (Uh)
Try to move faster (Uh)
I gotta get out of bed
I need a good kick, kick in the head
[Verse 2]
My motivation's smilin' from the heart
My inspiration, it always sets foot in the dark
And I can't change it, the spiral in my mind
You are my favorite, for you, I'll pretend like I'm fine
[Pre-Chorus]
Please bring me back to life
I'm stuck too deep inside
Please take my hand
I wanna make you everything I got
It's easier to sleep
Than let go of my dreams
Please take my hand
I wanna make ya mhm
Hey, yeah
Mm
Try to look fresher (Uh)
Try to live better (Uh)
I gotta get out of bed
I need a good kick, kick in the head
Try to lose pressure (Oh, yeah)
Try to move faster (Uh)
I gotta get out of bed
I need a good kick, kick in the head (Uh-uh)
[Outro]
Kick in the head, yeah
Kick in the head
I need a kick in the head
I need a kick in the head, yeah
Mm
Uh-uh
I try to look fresher
I try to live better
I gotta get out of bed
I need a good kick, kick in the head

This was one of the first songs I wrote when I was feeling inspired again. I’m singing about being unmotivated, not knowing what to say, how I need someone to shake me, feelings creative people experience when everything feels…flat. But things turned around when Tim, my roommate and one of my producers, brought me this beat. It had a funky bassline that reminded me of Fatboy Slim, and I thought it was so cool and interesting. Even a little experimental. It stands out in the best way and I love having it on this album because I think it helps show my range as an artist.
