[Verse 1]
Lookin at my phone nearly gave me a panic attack
I think I need to teach myself boundaries
Sometimes I get high and start wonderin who I am
See a picture of myself I don't like it
When did I? Who am I? How did I end up like this?
I feel guilty wishing it could all be done
Run out to the woods and be simple with my hands
Be someone somebody simple could love

[Chorus]
Why do we have to be
Something bigger than we were yesterday?
Why do we have to be
Always getting better in every way?

[Verse 2]
I wonder what it is about community
Or the space a certain person takes up
How many souls make a municipality?
You're only local once there's dirt in your lungs
Downtown they're dancing like keys on a carabiner
Juniper and lime on your tongue
Me, I'm in the corner getting crowded by some bro
Breathing in my ear asking me where I'm from
[Chorus]
Why do we have to be
Something bigger than we were yesterday?
Why do we have to be
Always getting better in every way?

[Chorus]
