Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thought I was ready
Ready for someone else
But every time I get ahead of myself
Every time I get ahead of myself
Thought I was rock-steady
That I didn't need no help
But every time I get ahead of myself
Every time I get ahead of myself
[Verse 2]
Guess who went ahead and jumped the gun again?
Some shitty situation that I put you in
And I know we poured the champagne
Maybe we were just too quick to celebrate
[Verse 3]
I thought I was ready
Ready for someone else
But every time I get ahead of myself
Every time I get ahead of myself
Thought I was rock-steady
That I didn't need no help
Every time I get ahead of myself
Every time I get ahead of my
[Verse 4]
I get ahead of myself
Yeah, baby
I get ahead of myself
Yeah, baby
[Verse 5]
I know that I was first to say "I love you, baby"
Moved my things in your apartment down on Second Street
I thought I'd cleaned the slate
But I guess I didn't clean it all the way
[Verse 6]
I thought I was ready
Ready for someone else
But every time I get ahead of myself
Every time I get ahead of myself
Thought I was rock-steady
That I didn't need no help
Every time I get ahead of myself
Every time I get ahead of my
[Verse 7]
Get ahead of myself
Yeah, baby
Get ahead of myself
Yeah, baby
Get ahead of myself
Yeah, baby
Get ahead of myself
Yeah, baby, yeah, baby
[Verse 8]
Get ahead of myself
Get ahead of myself
[Verse 9]
I thought I was ready
Ready for someone else
But every time I get ahead of myself
Every time I get ahead of myself
Thought I was rock-steady
That I didn't need no help
Every time I get ahead of myself
Every time I get ahead of my
[Verse 10]
Get ahead of myself
Yeah, baby
Get ahead of myself
Yeah, baby
Get ahead of myself
Yeah, baby
Get ahead of myself
Yeah, baby, yeah, baby
