Rearrange
Rearrange is about trying to navigate love and connection when you constantly feel like you’re getting it wrong. It’s that quiet ache of feeling loved but never fully understood . . like no matter how hard you try, you’re still falling short. The song wrestles with the pressure to be the “right” version of yourself, only to end up twisted in knots trying to please everyone.
This one came from a place of exhaustion . . of being told to speak up, then told to stay quiet. Of always feeling like you’re too much or not enough. Rearrange is for anyone who’s ever felt caught in that loop . . reshaping themselves to fit in, to be loved, to be okay. It’s about that slow realization that love shouldn’t feel like a puzzle you constantly have to solve. It should feel like home.

Lyrics
I try to say the words, I try to play the part
But somehow, somehow, I just miss the mark
Somebody’s mad, somebody’s hurt
It’s like I can’t get it right, no matter what I learn
Oh, I’m loved, I know that much (mmm)
But if they saw what I see (ohh)
Would they change their mind? Would they walk away?
How do you feel the love but not feel worth loving?
How do they hold you close but it still feels like running?
Strings on my heart, tied up in knots
Pulling in ways I don’t understand (mmm)
I just rearrange, rearrange, rearrange
Told I don’t say enough, told I say too much
Told to open up, then I’m told to hush
Guess I don’t know the language
Of getting it right every time
Oh, I’m loved, I know that much (mmm)
But if they saw what I see (ohh)
Would they change their mind? Would they walk away?
How do you feel the love but not feel worth loving?
How do they hold you close but it still feels like running?
Strings on my heart, tied up in knots
Pulling in ways I don’t understand (mmm)
I just rearrange, rearrange, rearrange
Picking up pieces, fitting the shape
Till it makes sense for the time, for the day
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
I’ll stop the change
Or maybe I’ll just rearrange
How do you feel the love but not feel worth loving?
How do they hold you close but it still feels like running?
Strings on my heart, tied up in knots
Pulling in ways I don’t understand (mmm)
I just rearrange, rearrange, rearrange
(Mmm) Rearrange
(Ohh) Rearrange
How do you feel the love but not feel worth loving?
I just rearrange
I just rearrange
