Hooray from Be Great by Chris Lambert

I hold my breath on the phone now
It's a new thing I'm trying, apparently
I hold my chest when I sleep now
so I'll feel when I'm dying, apparently

I used to sit here for days
and pray for a sign to create
or lay in the water and wait

Now I'm steering myself away

There's all these things I've been trying so hard to say
Convey myself in a raw and honest way
Control my life, but pretend to namasté
Convince myself I can change it in a day

I clear my throat when I speak now
or I crack when I'm talking, apparently
Arch under each of my feet now
Shouldn't hurt when I'm walking, apparently

I used to sit in a daze
and pray for a sign to be great
or wait in the water for praise

Now I'm cheering myself
"Hooray..."

There's all these things I've been trying so hard to say
Convey myself in a raw and honest way
Control my life, but pretend to namasté
Convince myself I can change it in a day
