Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No wonder I feel like it's never gonna change
I just walk by, I'm thinking 'bout a lot
But you don't, you don't
Even wanna know that
Today is just another day
Make my bed, I'm on my way
Checked my texts and now I'm feeling like I'm gonna die
Took some time to brush my teeth
Watched a movie, now I'm feeling like I'm gonna cry
I left my peace in the sheets
I don't know why I'm still here
When I should be asleep
I wish I was asleep
I wish I was asleep
I ain't runnin' from my shit, I'm just stressed out
I ain't far from the light, doing my best now
I'm just really tryna swerve into traffic
Feel the best when I'm lying in the street cracks
Pretty far from okay, doing pretty bad
I'm just talking bout my car, where my keys at?
Pulling up left the key's in ignition
I just really think I need some attention
I should've took a five to breathe
Took some time to brush my teeth
Watched a movie, now I'm feeling like I wanna cry
I left my peace in the sheets
I don't know why I'm still here
When I should be asleep
I wish I was asleep
I wish I was asleep
