Intro:
The clock on the wall is ticking too loud,
Or maybe my head's just lost in the clouds.
Been staring at the ceiling for an hour or two,
Just waiting for something to feel new.

Chorus:
And I’m just going through the motions now,
Yeah, I’m here,
but I don’t know how.
The world’s too loud,
or I'm just too quiet,
I smile and nod,
try not to fight it.
Feels like I'm watching my own life
From somewhere else on the outside.
Just going through the motions now.

My brain is filled with so much noise,
It drowns out my own and every other voice.
I'm tired of being tired, you know?
Been waiting for this heavy feeling to go.
I drive around the streets with no place in mind,
Just hoping for something to leave behind.
But it follows me back,
This quiet and familiar kind of gloom.

Chorus:
And I’m just going through the motions now,
Yeah, I’m here,
but I don’t know how.
The world’s too loud, or I'm just too quiet,
I smile and nod,
try not to fight it.
Feels like I'm watching my own life
From somewhere else on the outside.
Just going through the motions now.

I show up to hang out,
I play the part,
Got all the easy answers learned by heart.
“How you been?” “Can’t complain, I’ve been good.”
If they knew the truth,
I don’t think they would
Even know exactly what to say.
So I just let the conversation wash it away.
But when I get back home,
it all comes back,
Feels like everything's a little off the track.

Maybe I don't need a hurricane,
Just a little bit of steady rain.
Maybe I don't have to feel brand new,
Just need to find a way to make it through.
Is that asking for too much? (no)

Chorus/Outro
'Cause I'm just going through the motions now,
Yeah, I’m here,
but I don’t know how.
The world’s too loud,
or I'm just too quiet,
I smile and nod,
Try not to fight it. (yeah)
