almost ready

Barenaked Ladies

Ready but I can t get it started
Open but I feel like my heart is lagging and thin
Socials feel a little bit hollow
Maybe with a like and a follow I ll matter again
Eventually you find what your voice is
Essentially there isn t a choice, it s those who pretend
Learning where to be when the eyes swarm
Leaning like a tree in an ice storm
you ll break if you bend

I m almost ready to give up
I m almost ready to give up
But I m not giving in
I m just laying down
Resting my head
Turning around
And starting again

Make a case for trying to continue
Self-respect is back on the menu, don t try to pretend
Not saying I m not disappointed
When someone else is always anointed time and again
So saddle up to mimics and posers
You gotta keep your enemies closer
where does it end?

I m almost ready to give up
I m almost ready to give up
But I m not giving in
I m just laying down
Resting my head
Turning around
And starting again

I ll be flying as they re bobbing in the deep end
I m no lover boy here working for the weekend
I m implying that given time
I ll divine you want mine, get in line

I m almost ready to give up
I m almost ready to give up
I m almost ready to give up
I m almost ready to give up
But I m not giving in
I m just laying down
Resting my head
Turning around
And starting again

Resting my head
Turning around
And starting again
Turning around
And starting again
