[Verse 1]
Trains keep running
Hearts keep breaking
I keep writing songs
About things that are out of my control
But I pretend they're not
And then wonder why
The outcome's not what I planned for
[Chorus]
Oh, 'cause lately
I tend to answer with "maybe"
'Cause commitment seems so scary
And I miss just being bored
(Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored)
I swear, baby
I'm not the one that's crazy
You say that I'm too picky
But there's too much on my plate
(Plate, plate, plate, plate, plate)
[Verse 2]
I've never been the one to spend hours together
I love my friends but I like silence even better and
I love my parents but I can’t keep all my promises, yeah
Maybe I should start thinking less
Live my life how it fits me best
Cut off all the ones who cannot comprehend that
Maybe, I'm not doing well
And maybe, it's not about them (No, no, no)
[Chorus]
Oh, 'cause lately
I tend to answer with "maybe"
'Cause commitment seems so scary
And I miss just being bored
(Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored)
I swear, baby
I'm not the one that's crazy
You say that I'm too picky
But there's too much on my plate
(Plate, plate, plate, plate, plate)
[Outro]
Here's my promise
To myself and whoever is bothered
By the fact that I don’t know how to say "Yes" or "No"
That I need control and that I cannot just let it go, so
I promise
I'll take the pills that you feed me
I promise
I'll let go of the parts of myself that I like
I'll be focused and nice
Perfect slave to the system we're in
