2.12 I Can Do It
I was feeling anxious and overwhelmed and then I cleaned up my room!
Throwing dirty clothes in the hamper lowkey rid me of my impending sense of doom!
Yeah I got all my drawers to close all the way
And I can see the floor, look at all the space
I even lit a candle, it smells amazing
It’s kinda crazy, that’s all it takes sometimes

And I feel a little stupid
I’ve been down for days tryna push through it
Living in a chaos of my own doing
Clearly all I needed was a little vacuuming, yeah
And I’m not totally better
But hey, I’m way closer to getting it together again
I can do it! I can do it!
I can do it! I can do it, yeah!

I was feeling grouchy and irritablе and then I went outside!
Thrеw on the New Balance and ran to the park to give myself a little exercise
I know what fuckin’ happens when I don’t sweat
The energy I save gets trapped in my head
And then I don’t sleep or remember to eat
And I’m grumpy as fuck ‘til I do! OOH!

And I feel like I’m a child
Who needs to be reminded he needs to run wild
Do a little dance or walk a few miles
Suddenly the shit doesn’t seem so piled up
And it won’t fix every problem
But hey I’m way closer to knowing how to solve ‘em again
I can do it! I can do it!
I can do it! I can do it, yeah!
Oh
Oh
Oh
Ba da ba ba ba

I was feeling super unlovable, and then I saw my friends
And now I can’t make that feeling of loneliness make any fuckin’ sense
Hmm

What a thrill having a brain is
Once upon a time, I thought I might hate it
But most of what it wants is really quite basic
Community, activity, rest, and hydration, yeah
Though I don’t know all its secrets
I’ll try to be nice to it, just in case I need it again
I can do it! I can do it!
I can do it! I can do it, yeah!
I can do it! I can do it!
I can do it! I can do it!
