[Verse 1]
Lately
Been hoping something could save me
Except it's not even lately
Rather my ordinary
I look
At many faces who seem to
Have figured out their own way through
If they’re pretending, it's so good
[Verse 2]
They could really win an Oscar
I'm sure I’m so behind
But I'm doing my best to find peace of mind
But I feel like I'm losing time
Tell all my friends I'm doing fine
Oh, is there anybody else out there
Who could tell me where to from here?
[Chorus]
How do you know when you arrive?
When will I know I've arrived
When will I know I've arrived
When will I know I've arrived
[Verse 3]
Take me
Somewhere I can see clearly
There's too much noise in the city
And my hometown, and my bedroom, and my head and in my dreams
And I can’t think
It’s just too hard
If this what it's supposed to be
Then I can’t breathe
(Then I can't breathe)
[Verse 4]
Turn the shower cold
Try not to fold
I'm trying to find the song in my soul
But I can't hear beneath the rubble
I don’t know where else to even go
Oh, is there anybody else out there
Who could tell me where to from here?
[Chorus]
How do you know when you arrive?
When will I know I've arrived?
Will I ever get it right?
Is it only when I die?
Is it all just a lie?
When will I know I've arrived?
[Outro]
When will I know I've arrived
When will I know I've arrived
When will I know I've arrived
There’s a euphoric release of feeling as I let go of this pressure I’ve put on myself. ‘Arrived’ is about how I’m feeling like I’m falling behind in life, and that everyone else seems to be doing better. I feel there’s too much noise coming from everywhere, making me think I should be ‘there’ by now...
