saturdays are for overthinking (NPR Tiny Desk contest version)

Saturdays filled with, overthinking

And I'm, so ashamed

Do I really love me?

Like I say I love me

'Cause I feel so lonely

When it's just me, and my feelings

I feel identically, to the sky

So gray and cloudy

And I doubt me

I don't want to, fill my,

Saturdays with, overthinking

But I'm just so ashamed

I don't think I, love me

Like I say I love me

I need to be a better me, for me

Running from my shadow

And my fears

Don't even know how I got here

But I feel that I can't be, be who I want to be,

without integrating myself and letting go of the rest

No I don't need no help

I got God, so bright and shiny

And he got me

So I won't, fill my

Saturdays with, overthinking

And I'm no more ashamed

Cuz I know I, love me

Like I say I love me

'Cause I show up for me, for me

Even in my darkest times you light up the way

I'm never afraid to walk down dark tunnels and alleyways

For I know you've covered all of my days

Life be lifing to be frank and sometimes it's hard to keep a smile on my face

As long as I stay prayed up and keep the whites of my eyes lifted

My perspective on love and living will be forever shifted

If these words hit you in a deeper place, be comforted by the fact that this journey is not a race

it's all about our own paths and how they take shape
