Lyrics for Great Americans

Wake up, burnt out, start the day in flames Is it because I didn't text you back? Back Cat bring (meow, meow) Keep sendin' me mixed signals (meow, meow, meow, meow) It's like I haven't learned a thing Stressed out, burnt up, I'm movin' way too fast I need to reel it in, I just might bust my ass I might hurt myself Don't know much Everything I do is a learned behavior Achoo-choo macho, achoo-choo macho Midday, still weird, I'm probably overthinkin' Yes, I saw you call, I'm still not callin' back 'Cause I'm overwhelmed Dear Lord, send help, I'm talkin' to my cats (meow) I keep vacuumin' and nothin's gettin' clean 'Cause I'm overwhelmed One thing's for sure, you're gonna find a way to leave But before you go, please return my clothes You can't have my coat Don't know much Everything I do is a learned behavior I keep fuckin' up, but I land on my feet It's dark, I'm lost, walkin' 'round in circles (ah) I didn't complete a thing (shit), I missed my chance Don't know much, everything I do Is an SOS, somethin's clearly off I'm undiagnosed (shit)
