Lyrics
Maybe I shouldn’t leave
Contemplating whether leaving is the right choice
My happy place
Reflecting on a state of contentment or joy
Who cares if I’m alone
Indifferent to being alone, unconcerned
Lost in space
Feeling disoriented or detached, as if in an unfamiliar place
I should probably feel things out
Considering and assessing the situation
Instead of jumping in
Hesitating and avoiding impulsive decisions
I should probably take a second
Acknowledging the need to pause and reflect
To breathe before I begin
Recognizing the importance of taking a breath before starting something new
So why do I always fail to do just that?
Expressing a pattern of failure in adhering to the pause and reflect approach
Seems like I can’t ever do just that
Reinforcing the difficulty in consistently following the intended course of action
So in the meantime
In the interim or while waiting
I’ll sit here and drift away
Opting to withdraw and mentally detach from the current situation
Crawl in the backseat and feel the wind
Choosing to retreat to a passive or observer role
From the open windows on my face
Enjoying a sensory experience while distancing oneself
Go to sleep
Using sleep as a means of escape or avoidance
To forget
Attempting to forget or suppress thoughts and emotions
Drift to sleep
Allowing oneself to gradually slip into a state of sleep
To pretend
Engaging in a form of self-deception or make-believe
It’s all ok
Convincing oneself that everything is okay
In the backseat is where I’ll stay
Deciding to remain in a state of detachment and observation
Drifting away
Continuing the passive withdrawal and mental distancing
Here I am in my happy place
Reaffirming the preference for the mentally detached state as a source of joy
