The upbeat track, “Lunatic”, written by American singer/songwriter Andy Grammer is about having optimism and finding small joys in a low-profile life.
[Verse 1]
I got five bucks sitting at a coffee shop
I just wrote a lyric that made me stop
To think about the world and what I got
It's a beautiful, beautiful day
[Verse 2]
I got dreams for food and hope for drink
A new chance coming every time I blink
Sunset dripping off the thoughts I think
It's a beautiful, beautiful day
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe
I should care more about safety
But I can't ignore or betray these
Voices singing
[Chorus]
You can do this
You can do this
You are not a lu-lunatic
Crazy would be changing your mind
You can do this
You can do this
You are not a lu-lunatic
Crazy would be leaving it behind
[Verse 3]
I got five bucks waiting on a matinee
I love to see films in the middle of the day
Same movie seen a different way
I don't think that makes me crazy
[Verse 4]
And I start work on the opposite side
Of the clock, tick-tock, clubs open at nine
I'd like to rock till the early day light
Write music till five
This is my life
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I will wiggle in a strait jacket forever
This is not some slight disease we can try and cure
This is one thing in my life that I know for sure
There is no turning back now
Oh
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Would be leaving it behind
Would be leaving it behind
Would be leaving it behind
Would be leaving it behind
