[Verse 1]

I guess I'm moving like a freight train

Slow but picking up speed

A steady roll by the pedestrians and they're all looking at me

And I can feel the metal grinding with inconsistencies

I never know if I am in the way or if they're all marveling


[Chorus]

Or if I'm just taking up space

Taking up space

Taking up space

Maybe I should get out of the way

Get out of the way

Get out of the way


[Verse 2]

I guess I'm feeling like a burden

Or a brick wall of little bees

It's hard enough to imagine pushing through without imagining the stings

I've never been too good with patience

Always feel weary waiting

(I always worry when you tell me not to worry about it)

But I guess they don't call it the hardest part for nothing


[Chorus]

What if I'm just taking up space?

Taking up space

Taking up space

Maybe I should get out of the way

Get out of the way

Get out of the way

What if I'm just taking up space?

Taking up space

Taking up space

Maybe I should get out of the way

Get out of the way

Get out of the way


[Bridge]

And all along I thought I knew

But those old doubts keep pushing through

To placate them and then pursue

A place to thrive and then undo

The pulling threads of woes we weave are

Tangled up intricately (Taking up Space)

With the passive placement of feelings

That leaves us with no room to breathe

To breathe


[Guitar Solo]


[Chorus]

What if I'm just taking up space?

Taking up space

Taking up space

Maybe I should get out of the way

Get out of the way

Get out of the way

What if I'm just taking up space?

Taking up space

Taking up space

Maybe I should get out of the way

Get out of the way

Get out of the way
