Roots are growing back I can’t decide if I like ‘em
Everything is telling me to hide ‘em
Thinking about how all my natural colors turned neon
I’m feeling anxious better find a path to be on
Oh, I’m out of control
I bet you couldn’t tell by lookin
I wish the worry monster would go for a stroll
But now he’s found my calendar, and all my time he’s bookin’
Roots are growing back I can’t decide if I like ‘em
Still don’t know if I should try to fight ‘em
Thinking about when all my natural colors turned neon
I’m feeling anxious better go and put a ring on
Oh, I’m out of control
I bet you couldn’t tell by lookin
I wish the worry monster would go for a stroll
But now he’s found my calendar, and all my time he’s bookin’
I kind of like the sound of birds instead of cars
But tell me what is mine…and what is ours
I kind of wish I would have known back then
And I would’ve left my room more, it has been
A little heaven, little hell
I’m having feelings can you tell
And I’ve run out of breath to yell
I have some feelings can you tell
Roots are growing back I can’t decide if I like it
Everything is different won’t deny it
Tell me how to puzzle out the person I am
Make a list or draw a diagram
Oh, I’m out of control
I bet you couldn’t tell by lookin
I wish the worry monster would go for a stroll
But now he’s found my calendar, and all my time he’s bookin’
And all my worries again are getting louder and louder
The longer I stay in one place, the prouder my demons, the prouder
And all my worries again are getting louder and louder
The longer I stay in one place, the prouder my demons, the prouder
(All sections)
I kind of like the sound of birds instead of cars
But tell me what is mine…and what is ours
I kind of wish I would have known back then
Probably would’ve left my room more, it has been…
A little heaven, little hell
I have some feelings can you tell
And I’ve run out of breath to yell
I’m having feelings can you tell
