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
