lyrics
Oh I never learned to drive
Cause I’m scared of the road
And I never learned to swim
Cause the water’s too cold
Oh I hope you don’t mind
These issues of mine
Oh I’m just a bit concerned
Cause I never learned
I never ran as fast as all the other kids did
At times I get too frustrated then I lose it
I feel like every time I try I’m being outbid
I cannot curb it (I’m being outbid)
I wish there was a certain thing at which I excel
Sometimes I can’t control my brain
Feel like a bombshell
I always have this way of sabotaging myself
But do I need help
Oh I never learned to drive
Cause I’m scared of the road
And I never learned to swim
Cause the water’s too cold
Oh I hope you don’t mind
These issues of mine
Oh I’m just a bit concerned
Cause I never learned
I tend to disappear a couple days, don’t call back
And I don’t listen so I end up faking interest
I focus way too hard on me and all that I lack (that I lack)
It can’t be like that
Always so scared of taking risks, was never like that
I had to play it safe, experiences fall flat
I guess I’ll handle it by taking it in small steps
In small steps
Oh I never learned to drive
Cause I’m scared of the road
And I never learned to swim
Cause the water’s too cold
Oh I hope you don’t mind
These issues of mine
Oh I’m just a bit concerned
Cause I never learned
Oh I never learned when it’s the proper moment to talk
And I never learned when it’s the perfect time to shut up
Oh I hope you don’t mind
These issues of mine
Oh I’m just a bit concerned
Cause I never learned
Cause I’m scared of the road
And I never learned to swim
Cause the water’s too cold
Oh I hope you don’t mind
These issues of mine
Oh I’m just a bit concerned
Cause I never learned
I never ran as fast as all the other kids did
At times I get too frustrated then I lose it
I feel like every time I try I’m being outbid
I cannot curb it (I’m being outbid)
I wish there was a certain thing at which I excel
Sometimes I can’t control my brain
Feel like a bombshell
I always have this way of sabotaging myself
But do I need help
Oh I never learned to drive
Cause I’m scared of the road
And I never learned to swim
Cause the water’s too cold
Oh I hope you don’t mind
These issues of mine
Oh I’m just a bit concerned
Cause I never learned
I tend to disappear a couple days, don’t call back
And I don’t listen so I end up faking interest
I focus way too hard on me and all that I lack (that I lack)
It can’t be like that
Always so scared of taking risks, was never like that
I had to play it safe, experiences fall flat
I guess I’ll handle it by taking it in small steps
In small steps
Oh I never learned to drive
Cause I’m scared of the road
And I never learned to swim
Cause the water’s too cold
Oh I hope you don’t mind
These issues of mine
Oh I’m just a bit concerned
Cause I never learned
Oh I never learned when it’s the proper moment to talk
And I never learned when it’s the perfect time to shut up
Oh I hope you don’t mind
These issues of mine
Oh I’m just a bit concerned
Cause I never learned
