[Silence]
[Arrangement: guitar-rock with a restless bassline, clipped guitar, organ swells, groove that builds into a big chantable chorus]
[Intro]
Something’s off
(Something’s wrong)
Hard to tell
(How long)
Everything’s there
(But not in place)
Like a smile
(On the wrong face)
[Verse 1]
The room’s the same
(But the air feels strange)
Every little thing
(Just slightly changed)
The lights are on
(But they don’t look right)
Morning comes
(Like the middle of night)
You lost the thread
(Of what you meant)
Spent your focus
(Like you spent your rent)
Now every plan
(Feels out of joint)
Every step
(Missed the point)
[Chorus]
Are you feeling
(Out of sorts)
Are you reeling
(Last resorts)
Are you drifting
(Off the course)
Out of balance
(With no remorse)
Are you feeling
(Out of sorts)
[Verse 2]
The stack got higher
(The sleep got thin)
The pressure found
(A way to get in)
One more bill
(One more bad call)
One more push
(And you feel too small)
You’re still standing
(But not quite straight)
Running late
(Inside your fate)
And all the things
(You used to hold)
Feel less certain
(More bought than sold)
[Chorus]
Are you feeling
(Out of sorts)
Are you reeling
(Last resorts)
Are you drifting
(Off the course)
Out of balance
(With no remorse)
Are you feeling
(Out of sorts)
[Bridge]
Could be the weather
(Could be the news)
Could be the miles
(In somebody’s shoes)
Could be the heat
(Or the lack of sleep)
Could be the weight
(You forgot to keep)
Could be the world
(Coming in too fast)
Could be too much
(From the future and past)
Sometimes the signal
(Comes in blurred)
And all you’ve got
(Is one loose word)
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Organ Solo]
[Breakdown]
Shake it loose
(Shake it loose)
Take a breath
(Take a breath)
Shake it loose
(Shake it loose)
What comes next?
(What comes next?)
[Final Chorus]
Are you feeling
(Out of sorts)
Are you reeling
(Last resorts)
Are you drifting
(Off the course)
Out of balance
(With no remorse)
Are you feeling
(Out of sorts)
Are you spinning
(Through the reports)
[Final Refrain]
Out of sorts
(Last resorts)
Out of sorts
(Last resorts)
Out of sorts
(Last resorts)
Out of sorts
(Last resorts)
[Outro]
Something’s off
(Something’s wrong)
Hard to tell
(How long)
But if you listen
(Through the noise)
You might still find
(Your better voice)
