Intro (spoken, rushed but playful)
Hang on…
Where’s my phone?
Nah, had it a second ago…
Alright — go.
Verse 1
Keys on the bench, no wait — the chair,
Nope, not there, maybe over there,
Late again but I left on time,
Lost ten minutes just lookin’ for my mind.
Shoes on wrong, shirt inside out,
Thoughts talk loud when I try to shout,
World says “focus”, I say “I am”,
Just not the way you understand.
Pre-Chorus
I hear every word you say,
Just ten thoughts cuttin’ in the way.
Chorus
I’m still listenin’, even when I look away,
Still listenin’, brain just plays this way,
I don’t mean to cut you off mid-line,
My thoughts sprint faster than time.
Yeah I’m still listenin’, don’t assume,
My head’s just a busy room.
Verse 2
Phone in my hand — where’d it go?
Check the fridge, I don’t even know,
Calendar full, brain says “nah”,
Missed the thing I was stressin’ about.
They say “You don’t look at me”,
But I hear you clearer when my eyes are free,
If I stare too hard I lose the thread,
So I listen sideways in my head.
Pre-Chorus
I don’t mean rude, I don’t mean fast,
Just tryin’ to catch the moment as it passes.
Chorus
I’m still listenin’, even when I interrupt,
Still listenin’, just wired a bit rough,
If I jump ahead or finish your line,
It’s not disrespect — it’s timing misaligned.
Yeah I’m still listenin’, honest truth,
This brain just moves in loops.
Bridge (spoken, real)
I’m not lazy.
I’m not careless.
I’m not dumb.
I’m overloaded…
And still showin’ up.
Verse 3
White lies like “Yeah, I’m on my way”,
While I’m puttin’ socks on — classic day,
Time’s either slow or it’s gone too fast,
No in-between — just future and past.
I miss details you think are small,
But notice things you don’t see at all,
Chaos in here, but there’s heart too,
Just tryin’ to keep the signal through.
Final Chorus
I’m still listenin’, even when it’s loud,
Still listenin’, even in the crowd,
If I lose my keys, my phone, my mind,
I’m still here — just differently timed.
Yeah I’m still listenin’, stay with me,
This is what ADHD looks like inside me.
Outro (spoken, smiling)
If you know — you know.
If you don’t…
Now you do.
