This song talks about feeling lost and like you’re not how you were meant to be. Maia brings a light and yet; sweet song. I feel like she talks about a community of people trying to get better.
[Verse 1]
Lately, it's been getting hard to find the words
I'm stuck in my brain, I'm going insane
Can somebody help me, please?
And it feels like I've been spinning 'round and 'round again
Just want a break, my heart seems to ache
I'm craving some normalcy
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I don't have much to say
And I'm running out of thoughts to bring today
Show and tell is getting more mundane
No life to live or share
And it all feels so unfair
[Chorus]
'Cause we're floating in the air
Our feet are grounded on the earth
But our thoughts are way out there
And we're having sleepless nights
Losing puzzle pieces for ourselves
We need to feel alright, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Somehow I've been gettin' by all on my own
I'm not gonna lie, it's harder to try
Waking up each morning
And I'm gazing outside of my windowsill
The world is so wrong, I hope that we're strong
But I'm still mourning
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I don't have much to say
And I'm running out of thoughts to bring today, oh
Show and tell is getting more mundane
No life to live or share
And it all feels so unfair
[Chorus]
'Cause we're floating in the air
Our feet are grounded on the earth
But our thoughts are way out there
And we're having sleepless nights
Losing puzzle pieces for ourselves
We need to feel alright
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Outro]
'Cause we're floating in the air
Our feet are grounded on the earth
But our thoughts are way out there
And we're having sleepless nights
Losing puzzle pieces for ourselves
We need to feel alright
