“Center of Me" is written by Nathaniel Rateliff.

Lyrics:
It’s at the center of me but still don’t see
Feel it moving around
Can I admit defeat or disbelief
Does it have to be now

Hey wait, why do I wait until this shit gets harder
Hey wait, my words are arriving now
So I wait, I wait until the shit gets harder
Alone in my head

Is it all I had is it all that’s left

I’m starting out empty again
I cradled my arms and rocked myself to sleep
It’ll be ten more years till I say what need
stuck in my mouth when I try to speak
and nothing comes out

Hey wait, why do I wait until this shit gets harder
Hey wait, my words are arriving now
So I wait, I wait until the shit gets harder
Alone in my head

Said maybe, I don’t want to sleep too long
Someone wake me, I don’t want to sleep too long
I’m just gonna close my eyes and try to play it cool

I’m tired of waiting
I’m tired of waiting on myself

I’m tired of waiting
I’m tired of waiting on myself

why do I wait until the shit gets harder

I’m tired of waiting
I’m tired of waiting on myself

why do I wait until the shit gets harder

I’m tired of waiting
I’m tired of waiting on myself

It’s the center of me but I still don’t see
But it’s moving around
