[Verse 1]
I got five missed calls, twenty unread texts
You say, “Where you at?” I say, “Oops, what’s that?”
Planned to be there, swear I really tried
But time slipped away, yeah, my brain’s untied
Every day’s a puzzle, pieces outta place
Tryna stay on track but I’m lost in space
My mind’s a runaway train, no brakes
Got alarms, got notes—still show up late
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t ghostin’, I just forget
I swear I read it in my head
But then I saw a butterfly, and then a light turned red
Now it’s three days later, and I left you on read
[Chorus]
Always late, runnin’ behind
Tryna focus, but I lose my mind
In my world, time don’t exist
ADHD got me stuck like this
Ooh, I swear I care, don’t take it wrong
My brain just plays its own theme song
If I show up, just know I tried
Even if I’m falling behind.
[Verse 2]
Yeah, they tell me, “Write it down, set a plan”
I do, then forget where I am, fuck about,
Tried to clean my room, found an old mixtape
Now I’m dancing in my room,
I start a hundred things, finish like…two
Jumping topic to topic, like—wait, what was I doin’?
Brain buffering like my Wi-Fi too slow,
Meanwhile, my mates like, “Where’d you go?”
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t ghostin’, I just forget
I swear I read it in my head
But then I saw a butterfly, and then a light turned red
Now it’s three days later, and I left you on read
[Chorus]
Always late, runnin’ behind
Tryna focus, but I lose my mind
In my world, time don’t exist
ADHD got me stuck like this
Ooh, I swear I care, don’t take it wrong
My brain just plays its own theme song
If I show up, just know I tried
Even if I’m falling behind.
[Rap Bridge]
Yo, I’m livin’ in a highlight reel, every scene jump-cut
Got a thought, now it’s gone—wait, what?
Hit snooze twice, woke up in a panic
Got my shoes on, but my phone’s in the attic
Tryna hold a convo, but I space out
Then I snap back like, “Yeah, no doubt”
Truth is, I don’t even know what you said
But I smile and nod while I know I forgot.
[Chorus - Big Finale]
Always late, runnin’ behind
Tryna focus, but I lose my mind
In my world, time don’t exist
ADHD got me stuck like this
Ooh, I swear I care, don’t take it wrong
My brain just plays its own theme song
If I show up, just know I tried
Even if I’m falling behind.
[Outro]
If you call me, I might not reply
Not ‘cause I don’t care, I’m just lost in my mind
So if I hit you back at 2 AM
Fuck! Don’t take it personal, my brain just hit rewind again.
