Say Again

You're talkin' fast I'm noddin' slow

Tryin' to keep up but my thoughts let go

Something shiny just caught my eye

Oh we're back? I missed a line

You laugh once I laugh twice

Tryin' to act like I heard it right

Then five beats later I start to grin

My brain just loaded what you said again

It's not that I don't care at all

My focus trips before I fall

There's static in my head sometimes

But I swear I catch the punchline fine

Back up hold on say again

I wasn't listenin'

Wait up my brain just loaded in

Now I understand

Words lag like Wi-Fi in my head

Give it a beat I'm back from the dead

You talk in real time I hear on delay

But I get there anyway

My phone buzzed my thought derailed

A mental tab just crashed and failed

I swear I meant to listen close

But my focus ghosted like it knows

I make a joke to hide the gap

Hope you don't call me out on that

Then somehow yeah it all makes sense

Like subtitles lagging but finally synced

I don't need magic just a sec

My mind's a maze with side effects

I'll laugh it off I'll play it cool

Pretend I meant to break the rules

Back up hold on say again

I wasn't listenin'

Wait up my brain just loaded in

Now I understand

My thoughts rewind then catch your phrase

I'm two beats late but still amazed

You talk in rhythm I hum off-key

But somehow you still vibe with me

Back up hold on one more time

I swear it's stuck between the lines

I might drift but I'll tune in

Just say again yeah — say again

Maybe I'm wired a little strange

I miss a cue then rearrange

But I hear the world in frames and loops

Takes me a sec to catch the truth

So don't think I'm lost when I look away

I'm just buffering what you say
