[Verse 1]
I'm a horse, I'm a dog, I'm a sparrow
I'm a spider inside you
Trying to keep you off the straight and narrow
Pick me up, put me down, let me dangle
I'm a carrot on a string
I'm the sword as it hangs above you
[Chorus]
Ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh
Ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh
[Verse 2]
I'm the curse, I'm the cure, the solution
I'm the reality and the illusion
I'm a kid, I'm a friend, I'm a teacher
I'm the object in the distance
But you'll never reach her
[Chorus]
Ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh
Ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh
[Verse 3]
I'm a rat, I'm a dirty little liar
I'm a deep sea diver
I'm a backseat driver in a storm
I'm the chord, I'm the bell that keeps ringing
A stone in your shoe
I'm the bird your cat keeps bringing home
[Chorus]
Ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh
I'll nеver leave you alonе
Ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh
I'll never leave you alone
[Verse 4]
I'm a rabbit, I'm the hunter and the snare
Daddy's little princess
Mummy's little nightmare
I'm the window, I'm the door you left open
I'm the tap you left running
I'm the choice that you should've chosen
[Chorus]
Ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh
I'll never leave you alone
Ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh
I'll never leave you alone
Ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh
Ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh
[Outro]
Ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh
I'll never leave you alone
Ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh
Push me away, but I'll never leave you alone
Ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh
Push me away, but I'll never leave you alone
Ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh
I'll never leave you alone

This song is about balancing all the intricate parts and many faces of self and womanhood and the feelings of doubt that come from containing these multitudes. It’s about learning to navigate and live with them. To make friends with your doubt and with yourself.
