Story Behind The Song
The song originally was about doing things that feel natural. But it seemed every time I sat down to work on it, I would get distracted. By kids, work, family, friends, chores, social media, ads, life. Soon, the only thing that was starting to feel natural were all of these distractions, and the song morphed into a light-hearted take on all of the daily distractions that constantly compete for our valuable attention.

Lyrics
Coming alive, and I'm feeling alright
Got a lot to get done and I'm tryin' to
find some traction
But why does it seem as soon as I get started
I'm instantly bombarded
by these distractions
So many things try to get in my way
stealin' my time, wastin' my day
With distractions
I got so many distractions that it's starting to feel natural to me
Going again, tryin' to get in my zone
But I can't ignore my phone
For that satisfaction
Soon as I think I might get a thing done
Is the moment I find out that everyone
Is a distraction
Too many things knockin' 'round in my head
I just forgot what I said
So many distractions
I got so many distractions that it's starting to feel natural to me
Shiny lies that are pullin' my eyes and
Pokin' at my sides
Tryin' to get a reaction
And every time that I try to sit down
I'm suddenly surrounded
by more distractions
Too many things are breakin' down in my mind
Keep weighing me down 'till I find
another distraction
I got so many distractions oh and I know what the next one's gonna be
