[Verse 1]
Is there really someone out there cooking all of this up, he needs it hot
He's not trying to find me in a microscope
But I'm not trying to cope with the idea
He says, "Nope," when his friends ask him
If he thinks I'm really looking up from way down here

[Verse 2]
Is there really someone down there trying to hold on to a world?
He'll never see me writing notes, or knocking planets over with my pen
In this moment I stay still, I feel I should try to disturb nothing

[Hook]
But I tend to digress from time to time

[Verse 3]
Back hеre in the headlights, I comparе and I contrast
It's fair to say sometimes I make things last longer than they want to last
Fall when I was younger
Or next spring when I'll be singing songs about now
Wondering just how I got from there to here
Or the other way around, am I just a proper noun?

[Hook]
I tend to digress from time to time
Yeah, I tend to digress from time to time
[Bridge]
Is it time to start over again?
Oh time, is it time to start over again?

[Verse 4]
But I want meaning, I want reason
It's not enough to have a pleasing morning
Listening to birds sing songs about getting their money's worth
Or the earth beneath the cement, beneath the chair I'm sitting in
Under the roof over my head, under a sky that's turning red
Under the stars, begin to shine as I become unstuck in time
Waking up in strange places, chasing good conversations with my friends
Where'd my mind go? With my friends, what do I know?

[Hook]
I tend to digress from time to time
