Oh, there i go

A song

Verse 1
I was calm two seconds ago,
Then a word hit wrong and— whoa,
Mind took off, full parade,
Every old conclusion on display.
Heart went thump, jaw went tight,
Future ruined overnight—
And then I saw the whole damn show
And said, “Oh… there I go.”

Chorus
Oh, there I go, carried away,
Same old storm, different day,
I don’t need to make it slow—
I just laugh and let it go.
Oh, there I go, loud and fast,
Caught again — but not for long,
I don’t fix it, I just know
And laugh at how convincing it was.

Verse 2
Thoughts were sharp, emotions loud,
Certain, righteous, fully proud,
Every feeling dressed as truth,
Every memory sworn in proof.
But the moment I could see the act,
The whole thing cracked— just like that,
Drama stumbled, lost its flow,
When I laughed and said, “Hello.”

Chorus
Oh, there I go, off the rails,
Same old script, different details,
I don’t wrestle, I don’t crow—
I just laugh and let it go.
Oh, there I go, hook and line,
Caught myself just in time,
Not awakened, not a pro—
Just awake enough to know.

Bridge (chant-like)
Caught it.
Saw it.
Laughing now.
That’s the practice.
That’s the vow.

Final Chorus
Oh, there I go, human still,
Waves arise against my will,
But the moment that I know—
I’m already letting go.
Oh, there I go, once again,
Same old habit, softer end,
Not because I stopped the flow—
But because I smiled when I noticed so.

Outro
Reaction happens.
Seeing laughs.
That’s freedom enough.
