Lyrics:
I took too long to respond
No sign of life for a month
When they followed up
I put their name in a note
I have a system now
I have a system now
I took too long to respond
I still took too long
While my mood’s roller coasting
Collaborators think I’m ghosting
A haunted ride between maybes
I may be sick or just lazy
If there’s no fire on my back
I’m like a train on a track
Only look in one direction
Bridge behind me just collapsed
And I go
CHOO CHOO CHOO
Truly I don’t know where the time went
I marked it as unread
And even scheduled it in
When the time arrived
I took a break instead
I just forgot to respond
I forgot to respond
Don’t wanna anyone
Don’t wanna hurt anyone
My mailbox overflowing
All the bills I’m forgetting
Sorry for all the headaches
The floor beneath me is breaking I think
If there’s no fire on my back
I’m like a train on a track
Only look in one direction
Bridge behind me just collapsed
And I go
CHOO CHOO CHOO
Truly I don’t know where the time went
Safety comes from community
I don’t show up reliably
At risk because I’m half asleep
If there’s nothing stimulating me

thank you

[@Not_Even_Wrong]

Wow, soo nice! Love it!

[@dylanbyrne9591]

Damn, that is sadly relatable.

[@every-ist6222]

As a fellow ADHD diagnosee, I fully felt these lyrics. Excellent song

[@thatbeet]

So great. The vocal harmonies in that last chorus are goosebump-inducing. Absolutely loving Ben Levin Unleashed so far.

[@spatter9999]

Album worthy

[@thebigweeleilu439]

ADHD Anthem right here! Love it!

[@PEBelarus]

I love you so much bro. Your sister is perfect for a cold winter.

[@paulbeattie1182]

That was lovely! Cheers.

[@ShortMan_123]

Bloody great

[@nefedis7775]

Nice ❤

[@jhakardballoch2986]

Your voice sounds great on this, and the harmonies are very good :)

[@bentaylor4705]

Instant like. Always happy to hear what you guys come up with, just a couple of killer songwriters and musicians. 👍🏼

[@jrussino]

Oof this one is relatable in a way that aches a little

[@TumbleWeed411]

Really got me excited with that choo choo. Love this song. You both got it on lock

[@dirtbagdeluxe]

Justice cow really elevates this performance. Great song! I'm loving how much of your own earnest work you're sharing.

[@benlevin2]

That's my goal with this channel! More art and songs without hesitation!

[@TheSouthernStocking]

Relatable and beautiful just like both of you!

[@emilsteffen1532]

That was excellent.
Just last week I looked up a pic of the band Bent Knee because I thought the singer might be the same as some other band I was listening to. It wasn’t the same singer but I was like “wait…. I know that guitarist!!”
Then after some digging I found that you had just recently left that band- I’m not sure of the dynamics there but if you guys are still friendly and still play music together I would love to hear a Bent Knee version of this song. Nothing against this version at all and I hope I’m not poking at a wound- I just love music with big sound and lots of layers

[@sora7176]

This song is awesome. I had to leave the video to respond to all the people Ive been ignoring for weeks and then come back to finish this incredible song. Thank you so much for this Ben!

[@jsa3rdbb]

love this!

[@AENONxSRLOSCO]

Can I make a song with you ❤

[@stuartsmith5146]

Repetition legitimizes.

[@SirTrillium]

Repetition legitimizes.

[@BenLevin]

Glad you're making these acoustic songs!

[@QQ-sz7it]

Yeah, what this guy said!

[@johansws]

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[@halflearned2190]

Wish I could take lessons with this guy!

[@TRTSMTT]

Are those Magic Cards in the Background? If so, one of them is a Rhox, right? Which fits because the song rocks!

[@TRTSMTT]

And i think i see birds of paradise and Leviathan as well.
