Falling Short Lyrics by Ben Elder

Vitamin Energy - EP

2020

[Intro]
Sad
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1]
Judging by the way you move
I can feel myself in you
And you can see yourself in me
'Cause I been there before you knew
And I know how to feel the blues
You need to learn how to choose

[Chorus]
I'm falling short of falling short
And I might just have to pull the cord
And lately, I feel so ignored
Yeah, I just wanna feel important
(Dilla, Dilla)
Yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
Heart racing, mind pasty
Wasted my time chasing highs, don't be too hasty
I promised you I wouldn't smoke
But I just went and picked up
And I might blow through half an O
And still not get my fix, bruh
And now you're on your own

[Verse 2]
You're standing in the crowd with glazy eyes
Anxious as fuck
And you're praying that you'll die on the ride home
But not such luck
(Aw, you’re crazy)
But maybe, come the summer
You can up and find a way
To take a breath, appreciate all the love
(He did? He did)
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm falling short of falling short
And I might just have to pull the cord
And lately, I feel so ignored
Yeah, I just wanna feel important

[Refrain]
I'm falling short of falling short of falling
I'm falling short of falling short of falling
I'm falling short of falling short of falling
I'm falling short of falling short of falling

[Verse 3]
Yeah, yeah
Drum function by Dilla
Nod your head forth and back if you feel it
Taking your girl window shopping at Lenox
She want the Versace, somebody come get her
Splittin' pillas, fuck the system with ya
But I don't move with no bad intentions
Put your phone away and use your vision
Take your fucking headphones off and listen
Yeah, yeah
Forth and back
Rock to life's rhythm
Forth and back
Fuck where you're from, we just coolin' like that
Feels like our planet be under attack and
My stomach can’t digest it even when I bless it
I'm confessin', one more lesson from the south
We in the house tonight
And just like Andre did
I'll use these words for fightin'
All these icy feelings that I'm keepin' buried deep inside of me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on, come on, come on
It's official
I been keepin' low and keepin' business in peripheral
Had to hone it in and solve this shit that some call issues
Sat across a doctor with a lot of fuckin' tissues
Took it on my own 'cause ain't nobody gonna, yeah
'Cause ain't nobody gonna fix you
Take a look outside and feel the power living gives you
Take the present time and find a way that it can fit you
Shine a light inside and you can unlock your potential
