Before the Tapeworms, Will Wood was part of many other smaller projects. Due to him not wanting to be associated with many of these projects, most have been deleted from Spotify.
After entering recovery early in his career, Wood was diagnosed with Bipolar and began treatment. He has since taken a new direction with his work, dedicated to giving back and using his music to raise money for mental health research and inspire others with their own struggles. He leads a reclusive life in Pennsylvania, rejecting social media with the exception of Patreon and Instagram.
His release, “The Normal Album" is his first album following dropping "The Tapeworms" from his moniker. However the album still features Mike Bottiglieri, Mario Conte, Vater Boris, and Matt Berger. "The Normal Album" is his most polarizing, musically diverse, and lyrically dense album yet, explores the concept of normality through various lenses and alternating viewpoints, and features songs in every genre from disco to klezmer.
His last LP “In case I make It,” , where he explored an entirely different style from what he had published in earlier years, was released in 2022. In 2023 he released the live album “IN CASE I DIE”, before taking a hiatus from creating and releasing music which will last indefinitely.

Will Wood and the Tapeworms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone who never could love me again
'Cause you never broke my heart, no, you fixed it, and now it works
But only enough just to suffer that hurt
What can I say to convince you to slip back into my arms again?
I won't do you no harm again, lemme tell you that I'm sorry and that
Just a little bit out of my mind
Just a little insane without you
Please come back and be just a little bit mine
Just a little bit mine
I never thought, and if I did, I forgot while blacked out in-love
That's what's only starting would come to an end
But now I'm hungover and hung out to dry, and I'm giving it time
Does not knowing the truth turn my words into lies?
What can I say to convince you or do to make you agree with me?
I don't need you to be with me, just try to remember what you'd see in me
I'm just a little bit crazy about you
Just a little bit out of my mind
Just a little insane without you
Please come back and be just a little bit mine
Just a little bit mine
I'll be here singing til our heartbeats might slip back into that rhythm again
Whether it is or isn't the end, who cares? God knows that I could use a friend
I'm just a little bit crazy about you
Just a little bit out of my mind
Just a little insane without you
Please come back and be just a little
I'm just a little bit crazy about you
Just a little bit out of my mind
Just a little insane without you
Please come back and be just a little bit mine
Just a little bit mine
The lyrics to "A Little Bit Mine" by Will Wood and the Tapeworms speak about a yearning for a past love and the desire to regain that connection. The singer addresses their former partner, expressing how they haven't changed and still feel intense love for them. They acknowledge that their heart was never broken by this person; instead, it was fixed but only enough to still feel the pain of longing. The singer desperately wants their ex-lover to return, apologizing for any harm they may have caused and expressing how crazy they are about them.
The song reflects the singer's confusion and uncertainty about the end of the relationship. They admit to never considering the possibility of it ending, or even forgetting that it could happen while being consumed by love. Now, in a state of hangover and emotional vulnerability, they question if not knowing the truth turns their words into lies. The singer struggles to find the right words or actions to convince their ex-partner to come back and at least remember what they once saw in them.
In the end, the singer declares their willingness to wait and continue singing until their heartbeats align once again. They express a detachment from the outcome, hinting that even if it is the end, they simply long for companionship and the support of a friend. The song as a whole portrays the singer's emotional turmoil and their desire to reclaim what they believe is still theirs.

Say you're still her; the woman you were, and you haven't turned into
Imagine that you are still the same person you used to be, and that you haven't changed into someone who doesn't love me anymore
Someone who never could love me again
Someone who is incapable of loving me again
'Cause you never broke my heart, no, you fixed it, and now it works
Because you never shattered my heart, in fact, you repaired it and now it functions properly
But only enough just to suffer that hurt
But it only functions well enough to experience the pain that comes with it
What can I say to convince you to slip back into my arms again?
What can I say to persuade you to return to my embrace once more?
I won't do you no harm again, lemme tell you that I'm sorry and that
I assure you that I won't hurt you anymore, let me apologize and express that
I'm just a little bit crazy about you
I'm extremely infatuated with you
Just a little bit out of my mind
Just slightly irrational or crazy
Just a little insane without you
Just a bit mentally unstable when you're not around
Please come back and be just a little bit mine
Please return to me and be at least partially mine
I never thought, and if I did, I forgot while blacked out in-love
I never considered it, and if I did, I disregarded it while completely consumed by love
That's what's only starting would come to an end
That this initial spark would eventually reach its conclusion
But now I'm hungover and hung out to dry, and I'm giving it time
But now I feel the aftermath of intoxication and abandonment, and I'm allowing it to take its course
Does not knowing the truth turn my words into lies?
Does my uncertainty about the truth cause my words to become dishonest?
What can I say to convince you or do to make you agree with me?
What can I say or do to persuade you to concur with me?
I don't need you to be with me, just try to remember what you'd see in me
I don't necessarily require you to be by my side, but please attempt to recall the qualities you once admired in me
I'll be here singing til our heartbeats might slip back into that rhythm again
I'll remain here singing until our heartbeats potentially synchronize in that rhythm once more
Whether it is or isn't the end, who cares? God knows that I could use a friend
Regardless of whether it's the end or not, it doesn't matter. God knows that I could really use a friend
Please come back and be just a little
Please come back and be even just a bit
I'm just a little bit crazy about you
I'm extremely infatuated with you
Just a little bit out of my mind
Just slightly irrational or crazy
Just a little insane without you
Just a bit mentally unstable when you're not around
Please come back and be just a little bit mine
Please return to me and be at least partially mine
Just a little bit mine
Even if it's just a small portion, be mine
