Later Lyrics by Hayden Forbes

It Used to Be...

2024

[Intro]
How many lines in this verse are left?
Uh
For a pessimistic…
Ugh
I give up

[Chorus]
Fulfilling expectations I’ve set? I’ll do it later
Promises to live up, I’ll do it later
Lightning in a bottle again? I’ll do it later
Maybe I should give up but I’ll do it later
Fulfilling expectations I’ve set? I’ll do it later
Promises to live up, I’ll do it later
Lightning in a bottle again? I’ll do it later
Maybe I should give up but I’ll do it later

[Verse 1]
Imposter syndrome whenever I’m lookin’ at the past (Yeah)
Pressuring myself with this so I can drop it fast
Am I better than I’ve been or am I a been that has?
Toss it in the bin it’s trash
Don’t know how much longer I can last (Uh)
Pushing everything off, I’ll do it later
Procrastinating ways to fix a procrastinator
Calling Nathan or Erin, playing games, or just sharin’
Any little witty lyrics I wanna try
Don’t know why I would dare it (Huh)
So I sit in my office, a studio in a closet
A laptop and a desk, or whatever you call it
Recording “Summer Camp” or “TOO LOW”
Wanna drop myself but too slow
So lost Division St. can’t navigate me through these crossroads
So what the fuck do I do now? (Huh)
Got too much on my plate for pen and pads
So if that spark disappears at a fork in the road
Make sure that I face the music and cut me out of the show
You know

[Chorus]
Fulfilling expectations I’ve set? I’ll do it later
Promises to live up, I’ll do it later
Lightning in a bottle again? I’ll do it later
Maybe I should give up but I’ll do it later
Fulfilling expectations I’ve set? I’ll do it later
Promises to live up, I’ll do it later
Lightning in a bottle again? I’ll do it later
Maybe I should give up but I’ll do it later

[Verse 2]
Now I can go on back and forth on the state of whatever I’m feelin’ (Yeah)
But I’m strugglin’ with ways to put it into words
If you can, hit me with calls and a couple other ideas (No)
But it all depends if it’s what I deserve
So what is taking so long, I’m in a cycle (Huh)
Recycling through unfinished lines and working titles
Falling behind on deadlines and studio sessions (Damn)
When I’m in writer’s block with all this pent-up aggression
So I start sittin’ back and writing, finding little ways to lie
And claiming I couldn’t find any time of day to put the time in
Cause anxiety’s bitin’, anxiously tryna to fight it
As I’m forgetting my process, find that spark and ignite it
It’s a standard I set, I never put myself through challenges
Finding balances between a life I want and have and it’s a
Tragedy, blasphemy, I’m pushing off a masterpiece
So starting today, my problems will never make an ass of me

[Chorus]
Fulfilling expectations I’ve set? I’ll do it later
Promises to live up, I’ll do it later
Lightning in a bottle again? I’ll do it later
Maybe I should give up but I’ll do it later
Fulfilling expectations I’ve set? I’ll do it later
Promises to live up, I’ll do it later
Lightning in a bottle again? I’ll do it later
Maybe I should give up but I’ll do it later
