[Verse 1]
Seems like it was just last night
I was all set up for the highest heights
Oh yeah
How'd I fuck it all up again, again
Eighteen, yeah, I got big dreams
But it don't mean shit if I can't stop dreaming
Every second, yeah, I could've been there, right then

[Pre-Chorus]
Taking over my thoughts, no, I can't let it go
Say I just need to focus, but that's what I don't do best

[Chorus]
Yeah, here we go again
Didn't mean to go M-I-A, I-A
Got lost inside my twisted head
Couldn't go my way, too late
All my efforts to a wasted end
No, I don't really mean to, it's not how it seems
Swear I want it
Didn't want to go M-I-A, I-A
Yeah, I'm stuck up at the start again

[Verse 2]
Up high, tryna fake my pride
When I know deep down that I have no fight
One hit could knock me down and I'd be better off dead, yet
I'll say all this shit, how I'd make it work
And then I trip down all the steps and hurt my head
And end up eating all the words that you said
[Pre-Chorus]
Taking over my thoughts, no, I can't let it go
Say I just need to focus, but that's what I don't do best (Don't do best)

[Chorus]
Yeah, here we go again
Didn't mean to go M-I-A, I-A
Got lost inside my twisted head
Couldn't go my way, too late
All my efforts to a wasted end
No, I don't really mean to, it's not how it seems
Swear I want it
Didn't want to go M-I-A, I-A
Yeah, I'm stuck up at the start again

[Instrumental Solo]
Yeah, I didn't wanna go M-I-A, I-A
I, I

[Outro]
Didn't wanna go M-I-A, I-A
Got lost inside my twisted head
Couldn't go my way, too late
All my efforts went wasted
Wish that I could skip ahead
M-I-A
Ooh
Ooh-hoo
