[Verse 1]

Block the light spill all you want

It's better than nothing in terms of a wake-up call

I can tell it's partially for show

'Cause you overshare to the point where nothing's your own

Pause for a second

Recontextualise yourself in the midst of everything

(Don't you think it's a little unsteady?)

I'd take it as a lesson

I'm giving you the chance to terminate the thought of playing the heavy

[Chorus]

You tell me all you needed then was a head-start

Now you're just waiting around for the good part

Well maybe you should take thе hint

'Cause you just don't know when to quit

I know you've hеard all the horror stories

It always ends metaphorically gory

If you're planning to commit

Better put your back into it

(You think you've figured it all out)

[Verse 2]

Think of the adults for a change

God knows they've been here longer than you have

Take some time to find your bearings

You're sitting up at the back projecting into the front

And it's tipping the scale

[Chorus]

You tell me all you needed then was a head-start

Now you're just waiting around for the good part

Well maybe you should take the hint

'Cause you just don't know when to quit

What's all this about a master plan?

What about giving spontaneity a chance?

You told me not to fuck with it

But you're the one who let it slip

(You don't know what you're talking 'bout)

[Bridge]

Sift through the context

Not everything's legible

Figured you could read

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

You tell me all you needed then was a head-start

Now you're just waiting around for the good part

Well maybe you should take the hint

'Cause you just don't know when to quit

By the way, I figured out your objective

You're not looking for some kind of incentive

You do it for the fuck of it

So who am I to step on in?
