“I’ve learned the most about who I am in the times I’ve gotten ‘lost’ from my path and the expectations of others. There have been many times, whether around substance, getting divorced, or coming out, where folks have told me that I’ve, ‘lost my way’ - and they hope that I will, ‘find my way back.’ So this song is really about that experience - a kind of response for anyone who’s ever been scolded for discovering their own expression.” - David Wimbish

LYRICS:
“Why are you sleeping in a graveyard? Did you like the way it felt?
I’ve been showing all of my cards when you hoped that I wouldn’t tell
and it goes 1-2-3 they pray for me, but I am working to get free
I eat my apologies
Cause I do not fit, I am too big
the room is too small and I am getting through with these walls
blew off the lid, marry the cost cause
All I want to do is get lost, ooh ooh, lost, ooh ooh
All I want to do is get lost, ohh ooh, lost, ooh ooh
All I want to do is get lost
Why are you so afraid of pleasure? Do you hope to die on a hill?
You’ve been keeping up a ledger that you wrote while standing still
and it goes 4-5-6 I’m getting high
you’re still trying to get by
well, I’m not sorry for my size
Cause I do not fit, I am too big
the room is too small and I am getting through with these walls
blew off the lid, marry the cost cause
All I want to do is get lost
until I’m caught in the unknown
don’t have to decide
I can make a lot of places home
I’ve built it inside
you will never know until you try
I’ll never get why you just hug the corner of your eye
Cause I do not fit, I am too big
the room is too small and I am getting through with these walls
blew off the lid, marry the cost cause
All I want to do is get lost, ooh ooh, lost, ooh ooh
All I want to do is get lost, ohh ooh, lost, ooh ooh
All I want to do is get lost”
