Momentum by Earnest Jackson Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I just lost my momentum
Got lost in the moment - um
No that’s not what I meant - um
When I said that “I think I’m on the spectrum”
Follow the trail that I’ve left of breadcrumbs
‘Control Yourself’ - think about what I said - um
Sing-along this song I plucked with a plectrum
Turned into a bop with an electronic drum
DJ it’s not “another one” - it’s the next one
Hoping to turn my XO’s into X-1
Two, three, four but I know if I text one
I’ll end up heading in that other direction
Protect myself from my screen cause that’s - um
Put voices in my head and they’re screaming ‘REDRUM”
Can’t seem to get myself out of my bedroom
Gotta get outside, breathe the air, and then run
Hah! Hah!
Oh no I’ve been coughing and wheezing
Activate my asthma - have trouble breathing
I can’t leave and leave and leave and leave and leave and leave and leave and leave and leave and leave and leave and leave and leave
[Break]
I just lost my momentum - got lost in the moment - um
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just-
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
[Verse 2]
I know you think I sound “phoney”
On this call but it’s only
Cause I made sure I control these
Emotions - like a text with no emojis
Uh, I sound so cold, we’ll feel cold we
Know we’ll both feel so fucking lonely
For a while but I won’t let that control me
Need to find the old me and own me
Hold onto me - let go - I need a moment I’m losing control
I’ve lost my momentum by letting go
But in this moment um I might evolve
And that’s the point - right?
I can’t explain the pain away we-
Need space so stay away from me
Think of another name for me
Just don’t tell me - it’d be too painful see
I might die
If I ever leave another lover behind
Letting you all view my ugly side
I wanna view all your hands in the sky
I wanna see all your hands in the sky
I want you screaming out “I will survive”
I want you screaming out “I will survive”
I want you screaming out “I will survive”
I need you screaming out
[Break]
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
Got lost in the moment - um
No that’s not what I meant - um
When I said that “I think I’m on the spectrum”
Follow the trail that I’ve left of breadcrumbs
‘Control Yourself’ - think about what I said - um
Sing-along this song I plucked with a plectrum

I just lost my momentum - got lost in the moment - um
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just-
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum

I just lost my momentum
I just lost my momentum
