lyrics: Used to look forward in my diary Put a circle around 2023 I thought that I would be so old now But I still feel so young, it’s crazy I thought I would have a cat by now And for that I had no doubts I thought I would have a big job, in a big city I’d be buying my own house I’ve still got a lot to sort out I’ve still got a lot to figure out I guess I’ve got a lot to sort out I guess that I’ve got to figure it out I swear I blinked now I’m 22 Still no idea what I want to do, what I want to do I swear I blinked now I’m 23 Still no idea what I want to be, what I want to be When I look forward in my diary I now think of all the things I have to do Make another to-do list, dates are all deadlines Will I miss or will I pull through But I need to take my own advice I think it’s ‘bout time Because if not now then when? What am I waiting for? I’ve still got a lot to sort out I’ve still got a lot to figure out I guess I’ve got a lot to sort out I guess that I’ve got to figure it out I swear I blinked now I’m 22 Still no idea what I want to do, what I want to do I swear I blinked now I’m 23 Still no idea what I want to be, what I want to be Where are you now? What you doing now? Are you freaking out? Are you breaking up? Are you breaking down? Where are you now? What you doing now? Are you freaking out? Are you breaking up? Are you breaking down? Where are you now? What you doing now? Are you freaking out? Are you breaking up? Are you breaking down? Where are you now? What you doing now? Are you freaking out? Are you breaking up? Are you breaking down? I swear I blinked now I’m 22 Still no idea what I want to do, what I want to do I swear I blinked now I’m 23 Still no idea what I want to be, what I want to be

lyrics: You want a dream girl But you’re so far from a dream You’re on a planet that I never, ever, ever want to see That I never want to see But I won’t let you see my tears This is harder on me than on you But you already think I’m weak You don’t need a reason to Let me give a reason to Let me be a reason to Oh no I guess I did it again Oh no Opened my mouth again Oh no I guess I did it again Oh no, oh no Oh no (oh no) I guess I did it again Oh no (oh no) Opened my mouth again Oh no (oh no) I guess I did it Give me all the dirty looks you like You know that I will do it again Don’t want a real girl You want one you see on the screen She doesn’t talk back But in your dreams you’re making her scream But you could never make her scream But I won’t let you see my fears This is harder on me than on you But you’re already mocking me You don’t need a reason to Let me give a reason to Let me be a reason to Oh no I guess I did it again Oh no Opened my mouth again Oh no I guess I did it again Oh no, oh no Oh no (oh no) I guess I did it again Oh no (oh no) Opened my mouth again Oh no (oh no) I guess I did it Give me all the dirty looks you like You know that I will do it again It’s sad, I just came here for a pint And I, wanted to have a good time And I, think that you came here for a fight And I, really wanted to have a nice night It’s sad, I just came here for a pint And I, thought we could have a really really nice night Oh I just came here for a fight And I think we’re gunna fight And I guess we’re gunna fight cuz Oh no I guess I did it again Oh no Opened my mouth again Oh no I guess I did it again Oh no, oh no Oh no (oh no) I guess I did it again Oh no (oh no) Opened my mouth again Oh no (oh no) I guess I did it Give me all the dirty looks you like You know that I will do it again

lyrics: You keep talking And I’m hearing nothing But your mouth is blowing kisses my way For once I’m silent No it doesn’t happen too much You’re the one that’s talking Tell me, do you feel this rush? Uh oh, uh oh I think I’m losing control I think that you should Take me, home Blowing kisses Blowing kisses my way Blowing kisses Every time you say my name It’s so sweet Want it on repeat Can you just say it again Blowing kisses Every time you say my name Blowing kisses my way Our eyes are locked in Is this your thing? Or are you different with me? Nought to 100 When you say it I’m under Take a guess how much longer Till I spin out, a goner Uh oh, uh oh I think I’m losing control I think that you should Take me, home Blowing kisses Blowing kisses my way Blowing kisses Every time you say my name It’s so sweet Want it on repeat Can you just say it again Blowing kisses Every time you say my name Blowing kisses my way Is this safe? Or am I clueless? If I trust you, am I stupid? Is this safe? Or am I clueless? If I trust you, am I stupid? Blowing kisses Blowing kisses my way Blowing kisses Every time you say my name It’s so sweet Want it on repeat Can you just say it again Blowing kisses Every time you say my name Blowing kisses my way

about

INSIDE ‘maybe i'm too much’:

“This song is for anyone who’s ever been made feel like they’re ‘too much’. And particularly for those who’ve been made feel like they’re ‘too much’ by someone they love. Because there really is no need to minimise yourself to fit into a neat little box packaged by someone else. But it’s taken me far too long to realise that… 

‘maybe i’m too much’ is actually one of the first songs I wrote for Lucky Iris. And the initial version was so sad. But something clicked in my brain after being let down…again! And I realised that me being perceived as ‘too much’ really isn’t a me problem after all. In the main hook I sing, ‘maybe I’m too much, but don’t you ever think that maybe you are not enough’. And of course, I’m not actually trying to imply that anyone isn’t enough. Instead, I made ‘maybe i’m too much’ a reminder not to let other people tell you how you should feel about yourself. And maybe… after all is said and done… it’s not me… it’s you.”
