[Chorus]
I thought I was ready, ready for someone else
But every time I get ahead of myself, every time I get ahead of myself
Thought I was rock steady, that I didn't need no help
But every time I get ahead of myself, every time I get ahead of myself

[Verse 1]
Guess I went ahead and jumped the gun again
Some shitty situation that I put you in
And I know we poured champagne
Maybe we was just too quick to celebrate

[Chorus]
I thought I was ready, ready for someone else
But every time I get ahead of myself, every time I get ahead of myself
Thought I was rock steady, that I didn't need no help
But every time I get ahead of myself, every time I get ahead of my

[Post-Chorus]
I get ahead of myself, yeah babe
I get ahead of myself, yeah babe

[Verse 2]
Know that I was first to say, "I love you, babe"
Moved my things to your apartment down on 2nd Street
I thought I'd cleaned the slate
But I guess I didn't clean it all away
[Chorus]
I thought I was ready, ready for someone else
But every time I get ahead of myself, every time I get ahead of myself
Thought I was rock steady, that I didn't need no help
But every time I get ahead of myself, every time I get ahead of my

[Post-Chorus]
I get ahead of myself, yeah babe
I get ahead of myself, yeah baby
I get ahead of myself, yeah babe
I get ahead of myself, yeah babe, yeah babe

[Interlude]
I get ahead of myself
I get ahead of myself

[Chorus]
I thought I was ready, ready for someone else
But every time I get ahead of myself, every time I get ahead of myself
Thought I was rock steady, that I didn't need no help
But every time I get ahead of myself, every time I get ahead of my

[Post-Chorus]
I get ahead of myself, yeah babe
I get ahead of myself, yeah baby
I get ahead of myself, yeah babe
I get ahead of myself, yeah babe, yeah babe
