[Verse 1]

Look at me

Let’s identify the flaws on the outside

Bags under my eyes ‘cause I barely slept last night

Yeah

Yellow teeth hastily brushed

Running out of breath, huffing and puffing

Rushing to be on time to try to hide in plain sight


[Chorus]

I’m no model

I look awful

And overthinking my appearance

Is interference for my engine

My attention is on everyone’s perception

Of my worn construction

Form over function

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah (x2)


[Verse 2]

Can’t have a hair out of place

Oh stop it, you’re falling behind, pick up the pace

But how can I when everybody’s probably

Judging my blank face

How can I be present when I’m preoccupied by my presentation

Or focus on the stranger talking at me

When my brain is flaming but the body’s braking


[Chorus]

I’m no model

I look awful

And overthinking my appearance

Is interference for my engine

My attention is on everyone’s perception

Of my worn construction

Form over function

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah (x2)


[Bridge]

This thing is due for inspection

What a hunk of junk

Who woulda thunk

Clunky, musty, stuck in a funk

What a dump, in summation

Evaluation flunked

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey (Let's get moving)

My tunnel vision

Screeches me to a stop

No doubt, I’m out of commission

But I wish I could perfect the façade


[Outro]

Kinetics are second to aesthetics

Form over function

Kinetics are second to aesthetics

Form over function

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah

Form over function
