[Verse 1] It started with one notification Then twelve then forty then I lost the count Two hours passed and I don’t remember What I was supposed to do - or how
I had a sticky on my laptop That said “don’t forget the thing at two” Forgot the thing at two Also lost the sticky Also lost track of who
[Pre-Chorus - three inner voices, constantly derailed] Okay focus What was I doing Oh but first let me check my notifs I— …what were we saying?
[Chorus] Post Its Yellow squares on every surface I own Post Its Fourteen reminders I left for myself alone Eat the food, call the friend, go outside today The pink one says be present but I’m three posts away Post Its Post Its don’t lie but I do
[Verse 2] I opened the app for one second One second became one hour became late I drafted a caption seventeen times Then posted nothing and went to bed
The green one says “drink water, be a person” The blue one says “the dentist, don’t forget” My whole wall is covered in good intentions And somehow I still owe someone a text
[Pre-Chorus] Okay this time For real this time I’m putting the phone down and I— oh wait someone liked my post
[Chorus] Post Its Yellow squares on every surface I own Post Its Fifteen reminders I left for myself alone Ate the food, forgot about the friend, something today? The Green one says call dad but I’m twelve posts away Post Its Post Its don’t lie but I do
[Bridge - slightly panicked, speeding up] I have Post Its on my mirror I have Post Its on my door I have Post Its on the Post Its I have Post Its on the floor One says “check your Post Its” Which I found last week in March None of this is working But I bought more at the store
[pop drop / scatter energy]
[Pre-Chorus - resigned, laughing at herself] Okay maybe Just maybe The Post Its aren’t the problem here I— …I posted this as a story.
[Chorus] Post Its Yellow squares on every surface I own Post Its Twenty one reminders I left for myself alone Ate the food, called the friend, Yikes didn’t go outside today! The Red one says our anniversary but I’m ninety posts away Post Its Post Its don’t lie but I do
[Final Chorus - key lift] Post Its Yellow squares on every surface I own Post Its Fourteen reminders I ignored on my phone I think I’m singing the wrong line here, let me check the blue one The white one says I’m almost done but wait I’m a million posts away Post Its Post Its don’t lie But clearly I do
[Outro - casual, self-aware] Anyway I need to go I have thirty eight Post Its that say so Anyway I’ll go Right after I Post this last one ---
