Born With A Bothered Mind
Happy Camper Lyrics

I was born with a bothered mind
From birth, I have been burdened with a mind that is easily worried and anxious

made me tense, and a little shy
As a result of my troubled mind, I tend to feel nervous and introverted

everytime I’d turn around
In nearly every situation I face

I hesitated for a while
I delay and struggle to make decisions because of my tendency to doubt myself

You might say I am a doubtful guy
I have a reputation for being skeptical and questioning

yes I doubt ‘bout this and that and why,
I tend to have doubts about a variety of things and question the reasons behind them

it’s truly not so bad as long
While it may not always be easy to deal with my worried mind,

as you keep the fear from your mind
If I can avoid letting fear guide my actions, things tend to work out okay

Don’t trust men who say they don’t
It's important to be wary of people who claim to never experience doubt

doubt this funny life at all
Those who refuse to acknowledge the inherent uncertainty and absurdity of life may not be trustworthy

they have to buy a bigger car
Some people may attempt to compensate for their lack of confidence by acquiring material possessions

to prove they’re so sure
They use these possessions to project an image of strength, but their doubts may still linger beneath the surface

The same thing that’ll burn me down
The same source of anxiety that can cripple me

is here to keep my feet on the ground
Can also act as a grounding force and keep me rooted in reality

and both of them are walking slowly
Both the anxiety and grounding forces are present, but they don't move quickly or dramatically

all the way back home.
Ultimately, they will lead me back to a place of safety and familiarity

Should I cut my hair or let it grow
I struggle with even mundane decisions, like whether or not to change my hairstyle

Have another drink or head on home,
I often experience indecision, even when it comes to things like socializing and drinking

Should I form a band or go solo, well I don’t know
The bigger decisions in life can be overwhelming and leave me feeling unsure of myself

I can’t make up my mind
I have difficulty coming to a decision, even after weighing all the options

And after all this time I don’t know why
Even though I have struggled with this for so long, I still don't fully understand why I am this way

Why do I treat myself like this?
I question why I am so hard on myself and struggle to make decisions with confidence

What if, what if, what if?
I frequently entertain worst-case scenarios and let them influence my decision-making process

I’d choose meat instead of fish?
Even trivial decisions can feel daunting when I overthink them

Oh, come on!
I need to push myself to be bolder and take risks

go on and sing your own song
Encouragement to be true to myself and not worry about others' opinions

You’re acting like a moron.
Sometimes the only way to learn and grow is to make mistakes and not take oneself too seriously

just do what should be done
At some point, I need to stop deliberating and simply take action

I’m just a doubtful guy
In the end, this is simply who I am - someone who is prone to doubt and introspection
