Meerkat Mode

[Verse 1]
Stare at my phone
Thumb on a scroll I don’t need
Got a full pot of coffee
Still stuck on the loading screen
Hide in the bathroom
Just to sit there and read
Every label on the soap
Like that’s what my life needs
[Chorus]
I should be workin, workin
But I’m watchin that clock stand still
Turnin big old mountains
Into tiny molehill thrills
I should be flyin, flyin
Not stuck in my tracks like that
Gotta quit this turtle walk
Turn on my meerkat
Yeah I drag my feet
When I could just take one step like that
(Meerkat, meerkat)
[Verse 2]
Email’s a mountain
But I’m diggin through snacks in a drawer
Got “I’ll do it in five”
Written all over the floor
Talk big on Sunday
Come Monday I fade to gray
Talkin ’bout dreams in the mirror
But I’m standin in my own way
[Chorus]
I should be workin, workin
But I’m watchin that clock stand still
Turnin big old mountains
Into tiny molehill thrills
I should be flyin, flyin
Not stuck in my tracks like that
Gotta quit this turtle walk
Turn on my meerkat
Yeah I drag my feet
When I could just take one step like that
(Meerkat, meerkat)
[Bridge]
What if I just move once
What if I just start small
One call, one click
One “yes” instead of “tomorrow y’all”
Lift my head up
Look life in the face like that
Say goodbye to the bathroom breaks
Hello to my meerkat (hey!)
[Chorus]
I’m gonna be workin, workin
Watch that stuck clock spin
Turn these little moments
To a life I’m livin in
I’m gonna be flyin, flyin
No more lookin back like that
Gonna leave that turtle walk
Run like a meerkat
Ain’t gonna drag my feet
I’m takin that first big step, that’s that
(Meerkat, meerkat)

country, Bright country-pop with a lazy bounce that flips into an upbeat, motivational lift. Strummed acoustics and a steady kick under verses, big sticky chorus with stacked harmonies and handclaps. Add playful electric guitar licks, a whistle hook, and male vocals with a wry, conversational twang that lean more earnest in the final chorus., pop
