HEADSPACE

Verse 1

I’m lighting up my cigarettes to pass the time

Abbey Road on tape cassette and hit rewind¹

‘Cause I tried sticking with the status quo, but

I’m neck deep trying to stay afloat², ‘cause

I’m making failed decisions left and right

Pre-Chorus

‘Cause I’ve been in and out of jobs like confessionals

Unprofessional. late to work again from sipping on the ethanol

I missed the mark³ trying to find my place

But I’mma take another shot,⁴ so I’m getting in the headspace⁵

Verse 2

I’ve walked a hundred times around this block tonight⁶

Maybe one more time around will make it right⁷

‘Cause we’ve been on the phone for hours now,

but I don’t know if I can work this out.

‘Cause she’s not sure if this is worth the fight

Pre-Chorus 2

I’ve got a case of adolescence,⁸ but I’m twenty-three

I’ll never be the type of man that mom and dad imagined I would be

I missed the mark trying to find my place.

But I’mma take another shot, so I’m getting in the headspace
