Only about 10% of TMBG listeners understand that this song is filled to the brim with percentages and numbers. “Less Than One” is the final track of TMBG’s 2021 album Book, and details a person with ideas bursting through their head.

[Verse 1]
I got about six percent of the burrito in my mouth
The rest went on my lap
I tasted less than thirty percent of what I ate
None of which I did not forget
The only way I get any sleep
Is if ten radios are playing
Less than one of the seven ideas I had
Might be something I don't later regret
I bought half of a timeshare
Half of me will be staying there
[Chorus]
I took a walk, I got tired
I turned around and I got almost home
But then I got tired and turned around again
I wrote this down, I erasеd it
I was filled with remorse for both еrasing it
And also for writing it down
[Post-Chorus]
The ten radios only work if
Each one is tuned to different stations
Every one of the one million times I have remembered that
It turned out not to work
[Bridge]
I was not entirely wrong, I've got part of a brain
But the part that I don't have has got a migraine
[Chorus]
I took a walk, I got tired
I turned around and I got almost home
But then I got tired and turned around again
I wrote this down, I erased it
I was filled with remorse for both erasing it
And also for writing it down
[Post-Chorus]
The radios continue playing
The same thing even when they're broken
Less than point-five of the million times I closed my eyes
I couldn't open them again
