lyrics
I’m a coaster by nature
A classic imitator
And I drive my baby crazy
Cuz he knows I’m just lazy
Don’t know where it all comes from
Words, music and rhythm
Most times it don’t come at all
I think I’m failing after all
I keep gettin’ in my own way
Cuz I never feel lonely
Pretty soon they’ll disown me
I gotta let it all out
I wonder if I’m used up
Not funny or smart enough
Keep talkin' bout the same old shit
There’s gotta be a little more than this
Can’t keep it all bottled in
Creates a bitter carbonate
And it’s all stoppered at the top
I just need to screw it off
Keep gettin’ in my own way
Cuz I’m feeling kinda happy
And I don’t wanna feel guilty
I gotta let it all out
I’m a coaster by nature
But I could try to elevate ya
And I know my baby loves me
Cuz he makes me feel holy
And I’ve been actin’ all mixed up
Sittin', waitin' for some good luck
But I’m ready to make it real
Get some work for the way I feel
I’ll start carvin' out my own way
I said I’m happy not boring
If you don’t like it then ignore me
I gotta let it all out
I’ll stop gettin’ in my own way
I’m not afraid of bein’ lonely
And not a one of you own me
I gotta let it all out
A classic imitator
And I drive my baby crazy
Cuz he knows I’m just lazy
Don’t know where it all comes from
Words, music and rhythm
Most times it don’t come at all
I think I’m failing after all
I keep gettin’ in my own way
Cuz I never feel lonely
Pretty soon they’ll disown me
I gotta let it all out
I wonder if I’m used up
Not funny or smart enough
Keep talkin' bout the same old shit
There’s gotta be a little more than this
Can’t keep it all bottled in
Creates a bitter carbonate
And it’s all stoppered at the top
I just need to screw it off
Keep gettin’ in my own way
Cuz I’m feeling kinda happy
And I don’t wanna feel guilty
I gotta let it all out
I’m a coaster by nature
But I could try to elevate ya
And I know my baby loves me
Cuz he makes me feel holy
And I’ve been actin’ all mixed up
Sittin', waitin' for some good luck
But I’m ready to make it real
Get some work for the way I feel
I’ll start carvin' out my own way
I said I’m happy not boring
If you don’t like it then ignore me
I gotta let it all out
I’ll stop gettin’ in my own way
I’m not afraid of bein’ lonely
And not a one of you own me
I gotta let it all out
