i'm figuring it out

i'm figuring it out lyrics

Verse 1

I quit my job in March
I told them I was burnt out
I tell my parents I'm just taking some time
which is true, it's just not all of it
Sunday lunch, mum's passing the potatoes
I take some, I don't want them
dad asks if I've been applying for things
I nod at the gravy

Chorus

I'm figuring it out
(figuring it out)
I'm figuring it out
(figuring it out)
I say it like I've got a plan
I say it like it's a place I'm going
I'm figuring it out
(figuring it out)
(figuring it out)

Verse 2

I sleep till eleven, then I lie there
I'm tired in a way that sleep doesn't touch
I watch the same three shows
I've started to like it, that's the guilty part
I like the quiet
and mum keeps saying, take all the time you need
and I think, what if I need all of it
what if I don't go back

Chorus

I'm figuring it out
(figuring it out)
I'm figuring it out
(figuring it out)
they think it's a few more weeks
I don't know what it is
I'm figuring it out
(figuring it out)
(figuring it out)

Bridge

I'm not sad all the time
that's what's so strange
some days I'm fine, I walk to the shop
I buy a lemon, I come home
and that's a whole day
and I'm proud of it
and I can't tell anyone that

Chorus

I'm figuring it out
(figuring it out)
I'm figuring it out
(figuring it out)
mum, I'm sorry I nodded
I don't know what I'm nodding at
I'm figuring it out
(figuring it out)
(figuring it out)
I'm figuring it out

Outro

pass the potatoes
I'll have some this time
