歌詞

Made another list at eight

Changed it all by half past ten

Had the whole thing ready once

Then I started it again

Saw somebody younger win

Did the math inside my head

Closed the post before it went

Saved it back to drafts instead

I keep saying

Just one more day

One more fix

Then I’ll be ready

How am I tired

If I haven’t started yet?

How am I behind

When I haven’t taken one step?

Getting ready

Is the only thing I finish

How am I tired

If I haven’t started yet?

Got a folder full of names

For the thing I haven’t made

Wrote the email, checked it twice

Left it sitting there unsent

Watched the upload reach the end

Closed the window at the last

Every time I get that close

I find something else to fix

I keep saying

Just one more day

One more fix

Then I’ll be ready

How am I tired

If I haven’t started yet?

How am I behind

When I haven’t taken one step?

Getting ready

Is the only thing I finish

How am I tired

If I haven’t started yet?

Maybe ready never comes

Maybe that’s the whole mistake

Maybe nothing has to feel right

Before I let it take its shape

How am I tired

If I haven’t started yet?

Maybe being ready

Is the thing I need to forget

Getting ready

Is the only thing I finish

Maybe I could start

Before I’m ready for it
