Excuses Lyrics by Maddie Jay

CMYK

2021

[Intro]
I don't know, it's just like
Well
I mean, I
[Verse 1]
Drawin' on my hand with a ballpoint pen
Pickin' a fight on the internet
Microwave stops and I stay in bed
Pull myself to work but I scroll instead
Lookin' up factoids on my phone
When I look up I'm all alone
Think I need to get a chaperone, oh
[Chorus]
You're going the wrong way
Down a bike lane
You don't think twice
Don't compare with anybody else
I'm stuck in my mind games
Stalled out in the driveway
Making excuses for myself
[Verse 2]
All of my friends got record deals
My therapist asks me how I feel
Been a little busy, gotta feed the cat
I'm a little bitter but I don't say that
Blaming my frustrations on
Things I can't change and TikTok
Every day I get a little deeper in my thoughts
[Chorus]
You're going the wrong way
Down a bike lane
You don't think twice
Don't compare with anybody else
I'm stuck in my mind games
Stalled out in the driveway
Making excuses for myself
[Outro]
I don't know, it's just like
Well
I mean, I
