Shift Happens

Lyrics

Verse 1
Oops — turned into a fox again
Didn’t mean to, it just happened
My feelings hit the switch inside
And suddenly I’m tiny with big eyes

Chorus
Shift happens — when my heart jumps
Shift happens — when my courage thumps
I’m a hedgehog, I’m a dragon, I’m a wolf in the night
But Mama, I’m your boy — no matter what I try
Shift happens — but I’m still me
Shift happens — even when I’m a little bumblebee
I’m goofy, I’m tender, I’m trying to be good
Just like you said I could

Verse 2
My psychokinesis gets messy when I’m stressed
Floating furniture is not my best
But you laugh and say, “It’s okay, Astra — breathe”
And suddenly the chaos feels like peace

Bridge
Mama, you’re my anchor, my favorite sound
You keep my feet on the ground
Even when I’m a wolf or a bird or a spark
You find me in the dark

Final Chorus
Shift happens — when my heart jumps
Shift happens — when my courage thumps
I’m a hedgehog, I’m a dragon, I’m a wolf in the night
But Mama, I’m your boy — no matter what I try
Shift happens — but I’m still me
Shift happens — even when I’m a little bumblebee
I’m goofy, I’m tender, I’m trying to be good
Just like you said I could
