Runnin'

[Verse: Devonté Hynes]

Demons on my neck, neck

Summer take a toll

Lamp in my eyes shined bright on my soul

Girls awful wet, slip, fall, break the pain

And the same anxiety's coming up again

I've been losing out on something

So I'm told by my friends

[Chorus: Devonté Hynes & Georgia Anne Muldrow]

Runnin' in circles

Looking for something to hold on

Runnin' in circles

Knowing there's nowhere to go

And it's harder to be on your own (So hard)

And it's hard when the night owns your soul

And it's harder to think on your own

You're runnin' on my mind

Yeah, you're runnin' on my mind

And the summer is taking it all

I know you're runnin' on my mind

Runnin' on my mind

It all

It all

It all

Yeah, you're runnin' on my mind

I know you're running' on my mind

Runnin' on my mind

I promise you, you're running' on

Yeah, you're running on my mind

[Verse: Devonté Hynes]

Demons on my neck, neck

Summer take a toll

Lamp in my eyes shined bright on my soul

Girls awful wet, slip, fall, break the pain

And the same anxiety's coming up again

[Interlude: Georgia Anne Muldrow]

You and your soul are never not one

I said, you and your soul are never not one

Whoa, rise and shine, rise and shine

'Cause you and your soul are never not one

Hold on, yes

You gonna be okay, you gonna be okay

Everybody goes through it

Everybody goes through it

You're gonna be alright

Just hold on to your mighty way of being

[Outro: Janet Mock, Devonté Hynes, & Amandla Stenberg]

Live for the floor

If I called you would you answer me?

So, you were, like, talking about this idea of being called upon

And for some reason the first thing I heard was, like

This faint, irritating, incessant buzzer

And I think I heard it three times in my life

The first was, was within myself

Um, to stop pretending

To stop performing in ways that people wanted me to

Life for the floor

To actually show up for myself

And to be myself
