Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ripped my favorite jeans and my laundry wasn't clean
I knocked over glasses from last night
Ma' please don't judge me
I wish this was a dream
I'm dizzy as hell, my feet don't follow me
I'm busy as hell, no no don't call on me
I do whatever gets my heart breathing (breathing)
I do whatever gets my heart breathing
(Breathing, we're breathing)
I slow it down, I just keep on
I keep on breathing, we're breathing now
(Breathing, we're breathing now)
Meet me on the corner around three
That's what you told me
But I guess I fell asleep
And ain't my phone is blowing up you're feeling down
I guess I'm sorry
It all just got blurry
Oh I'm
I'm dizzy as hell, my feet don't follow me
I'm busy as hell, no no don't call on me
I do whatever gets my heart breathing (breathing)
I do whatever gets my heart breathing
(Breathing, we're breathing now)
I slow it down, I just keep on
I keep on breathing, we're breathing now
I do whatever gets my heart breathing
(Breathing, we're breathing now)
I know I have a rough edge too
Is that enough to scare you?
I know I can be a pain in the ass
But not enough to rag you out
Sometimes I just need to
Sometimes I just need to
I do whatever gets my heart breathing
(Breathing, we're breathing)
I do whatever gets my heart breathing
(Breathing, we're breathing now)
I slow it down, I just keep on
I keep on breathing, we're breathing now
I do whatever gets my heart breathing
(Breathing, we're breathing now)

Sometimes I just need to
I need to prioritize my own well-being and self-care
I do whatever gets my heart breathing
I focus on what makes me feel alive and fulfilled, even when things are tough
