Good day in my mind, safe to take a step out

Get some air now, let yo' edge out

Too soon, I spoke

You be heavy in my mind, can you get the heck out?

I need rest now, got me bummed out

You so, you so, you

Baby, baby, babe

I've been on my empty mind shit

[Pre-Chorus: SZA]

I try to keep from losin' the rest of me

I worry that I wasted the best of me on you, babe

You don't care

Said, "Not tryna be a nuisance, this is urgent"

Tryna make sense of loose change

Got me a war in my mind

Gotta let go of weight, can't keep what's holdin' me

Choose to watch while the world break up in front of me

[Chorus: SZA, Jacob Collier & Both]

All the while, I'll await my armored fate with a smile

Still wanna try, still believe in

Good days, good days, always

Always inside (Always in my mind, always in my mind, mind)

Good day living in my mind

[Verse 2: SZA, Jacob Collier]

Tell me I'm not my fears, my limitations

I disappear if you let me

Feelin' like, yeah (On your own)

Feelin' like Jericho

Feelin' like Job when he lost his shit

Gotta hold my own, my cross to bear alone, I

Ooh, played and dipped, way to kill the mood

Know you like that shit

Can't groove it, ba-baby

Heavy on my empty mind shit

[Pre-Chorus: SZA]

I gotta keep from losin' the rest of me (Rest of me)

Still worry that I wasted the best of me on you, babe

You don't care

Said, "Not tryna be a nuisance, this is urgent" (It's urgent)

Tryna make sense of loose change

Got me a war in my mind (My mind)

Gotta let go of weight, can't keep what's holdin' me

Choose to watch while the world break up in front of me

[Chorus: SZA, Jacob Collier & Both]

All the while, I'll await my armored fate with a smile

Still wanna try, still believe in

Good days, good days, always (Good days on my mind, good days on my mind)

Sunny inside (Always in my mind, always in my mind, mind)

Good day living in my mind

[Verse 3: SZA]

Gotta get right

Tryna free my mind before the end of the world

I don't miss no ex, I don't miss no text

I choose not to respond

I don't regret, just pretend shit never happened

Half of us layin' waste to our youth, it's in the present

(Na-na, na-na, na-na, na)

Half of us chasin' fountains of youth and it's in the present now

[Outro: Jacob Collier]

Always in my mind, always in my mind, mind

You've been making me feel like I'm

Always in my mind, always in my mind, mind
