Lyrics

Irresponsible

Da-na-na, do-da-na-na-na-da-na

Left my head back in the diner Think my keys are right beside it Let me know if you can find them 'Cause they're designer

Halfway through a different sentence Mixed up, twisted in my mouth like Miles Flavors rollin', so unsettling And you're not even listening

Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm Don't tell me to go slow Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm 'Cause you know that I won't

Slap me on the wrist Tsk, tsk, I'm trying I don't know why I never grew up, and it's mortifying Why am I so irresponsible?

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la I don't know why La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la Why am I so irresponsible?

Got my chaos automatic One, two, three, it's systematic All my wires are crossed and jagged (oh, uh, oh) And the fact is I'm so tired of droppin' all the pieces, I keep speedin' I know I'm the reason Bleedin', feelin' so depleted And I swear I'm tryna beat it

Slap me on the wrist Tsk, tsk, I'm trying I don't know why I never grew up, and it's mortifying Why am I so irresponsible?

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la I don't know why La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la Why am I so irresponsible?

(Do-la-la-la-la, do-la-la-di-di-do) (Da-da-la-li-da, da-la-li-li-da-da) (Da-da-do-di-di-da-da-ooh-ooh)
