"Taking Up Space" lyrics

"Taking Up Space"

How did I get here
Who did I trick
It was a slow burn
It happened too quick
I hit rock bottom
Then something just clicked
And now I'm choking on the leftovers
Of the kid I used to be
And I feel sick

It is a practice
Taking up space
I'll drive the car in the fast lane
At my own pace
I'll cut the curtains
But you know I'll leave the drapes
And I'll start to like staring at the
Crooked smile on my own face
On my own face

I'm coughing it up
I'm drinking it down
I'm gonna plant both feet on the ground
I'm taking it in
I'm letting it go
If you're not taking the hint
I'm telling you no
And I'm not laughing at your goddamn jokes
I'm not running in your race
But I'm taking up space
I'm taking up space

I'm coughing it up
I'm drinking it down
I'm gonna plant both feet on the ground (I'm taking up space)
I'm taking it in
I'm letting it go (I'm taking up space)
If you're not taking the hint
I'm telling you no
And I'm not laughing at your goddamn jokes (I'm taking up space)
I'm not running in your race
If you're not taking the hint
I'm telling you no
And I'm not laughing at your goddamn jokes (I'm taking up space)
I'm not running in your race
But I'm taking up space
