Letra de 'Good, How Are You?' de Mia Stegner

Hey, hi, how are you?
Good, how are you?
Good, goodbye, see ya

Autopilot, wish I wasn’t like a violet
So delicate, so quiet

Hey, hi, how are you?
Kinda wish I really knew
But goodbye, see ya

Autopilot, wish I didn’t have to smile it
Tires me, it’s true

Autopilot, autopilot, autopilot, autopilot

Why is my default distance?
Following instinctual social resistance?

Why is my default ending conversation?
As if it’s just another obligation?

Nod and laugh, but not too much
Don’t touch your hair, don’t put a comma there
Don’t look, don’t look away
Till I forget what normal feels like
Be yourself, they say
But what if me is not authentic
As a person, what if hiding is my personality?

Hey, hi, how are you?
Good, how are you?
Good, goodbye, see ya

A million times, and it always ends the same

Hey, hi, how are you?
Kinda wish I really knew
But goodbye, see ya

A million times, and I guess both parties are to blame
Kinda lame I’d claim
Maybe we should feel some shame
We’ve been trained to play a game
I know I’d rather feed a flame
But the motivation never came
So put us in the hall of fame
You might as well just frame our names
'Cause we’re the millionth pair to play the game

Hey, hi, how are you?
Good, how are you?
Good, goodbye, see ya

I know what to do
To pass as normal
Is that something that you think I do?
Maybe none of this is true?
I have studied people’s words and actions
While I sit there still and quiet
Still sometimes I don’t know how to
Mimic what I see although I
Try, I should try, not to try
Maybe I just need to cry
But my eyes, they are dry, my soul is fried
I am blue, like the sky, so tell my
Why are my eyes dry?

Hey, hi, how are you?
Good, how are you?
Good, goodbye, see ya

I don’t know what to say
What combination of the letters
And the symbols I have in my
Pocket make the most sense to combine today?

I don’t know what to do
I have these strategies that I don’t
Always know that I am using until I stop to think about it

Then I wonder what am I avoiding
It’s annoying fighting my own brain again
Do I think that this is making my life easier
Because I think I’ll think again
It’s so much work to care this much and
I don’t know how I can stop this
Round and round I rethink every
Message I receive and write about a hundred times

Hey, hi, how are you?
Good, how are you?
Good, goodbye, see ya

Autopilot, wish I wasn’t like a violet
So delicate, so quiet

Every so often I meet someone who is so
Easy to talk to they make me think maybe I’ve
Gotten a glimpse of what this being human ordeal
Is supposed to look like

Every so often the rules disappear
I stop fearing the what if’s and
For a small stretch
I could swear that it all feels alright

Hey, hi, how are you?
Good, how are you?
Good, goodbye, see ya

Autopilot, wish I wasn’t like a violet
So delicate, so quiet

Hey, hi, how are you?
Kinda wish I really knew
But goodbye, see ya

Autopilot, wish I didn’t have to smile it
Tires me, it’s true

Autopilot, autopilot, autopilot, autopilot
