[Hook: Keeley Adkisson]

Lately I’ve been busy

Thinking ‘bout a lot of things

Which way is right, which way is wrong?

Is there an in between?

This pressure’s got me bubbling

My handle’s turning red

So don’t blame me if my insecurities

Go through my head

Lately I’ve been busy

Wondering what in life is true

Which way is right, which way is wrong?

Will it all lead to you?

I promise I don’t mean to push you back

You know I care

But the burdens I’ve acquired

Are too much for both to bear

[Verse 1: Cole]

How do I live for tomorrow?

How do I make it back home?

How do I rid all these sorrows?

And what if I lose all control?

I don't never know what's the problem

I share my secrеts alone

I'm scared to lose what I lovе

I'm scared of losing my soul

Cause I've been too busy to notice

Aand I started shifting my focus

They try to change who I am

So they take these words that I've spoken

Now they've got me feeling so hopeless

I lost my faith in what matters

I gave up all that I knew

But I still need you through this chapter

And I been like

I've been working way too many hours

Got no time to put my effort

Into people that I love

It's depressing how these arguments

Are slowly getting louder

Over time, my relationships

Are slowly giving up

Punch the clock until my job

Is taking over, it devours

All I wanted was to make an effort

Searching for the Son

But I found that life is overwhelming

Taking all my power

Has my putting every paycheck

Over any ounce of blood

But it's okay

Steady searching for the brightest day

Moving forward til I fade away

And I really wish that I could stay the same but

It's time to slow down

Can't be tied to things I know now

Tell my momma that I'm headed homebound

Right here and right now

[Bridge: Keeley]

Lately I’ve been busy, lately I’ve been busy

Lately I’ve been busy, busy baby

Lately I’ve been busy, lately I’ve been busy

Lately I’ve been busy, busy baby

[Verse 2: Cole]

They say, they say

I ain't never gonna be the main thing

I ain't never gonna see a new day

I ain't never gonna choose a new way

But I've been there and I've done well

Seen Heaven through the gates of Hell

Stood tall but I still fell

I reach far but I can't tell

And I gave up what I loved the most

And I ran from what I can't control

But I'm sick and tired getting so close

To the very thing that I need to know

I cursed God for my own choices

Listening to too many voices

Took advantage of his love & grace

Had to learn today, it's my own poison

I was working way too many hours

I'd avoid the things I know I need to do

To get around

It's depressing how these arguments

Just keep on getting louder

Every person that I love

They no longer want me round

Punch the clock until my job

Is taking over, it devours

9 to 5 to right my wrongs

I make no time to seek the crown

But I found that life is overwhelming

Taking all my power

Lately I've been busy

And I need to slow it down

[Bridge: Keeley]

Lately I’ve been busy, lately I’ve been busy

Lately I’ve been busy, busy baby

Lately I’ve been busy, lately I’ve been busy

Lately I’ve been busy, busy baby

Lately I’ve been busy, lately I’ve been busy

Lately I’ve been busy, busy baby

Lately I’ve been busy, lately I’ve been busy

Lately I’ve been busy, busy baby
