  • I lost my keys in the great unknown
    And call me please 'cause I can't find my phone

    This is the stuff that drives me crazy
    This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
    In the middle of my little mess
    I forget how big I'm blessed
    This is the stuff that gets under my skin
    But I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
    It might not be what I would choose
    But this is the stuff You use

    Forty-five in a thirty-five
    Sirens and fines while I'm running behind
    Whoa

    This is the stuff that drives me crazy
    This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
    In the middle of my little mess
    I forget how big I'm blessed
    This is the stuff that gets under my skin
    But I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
    It might not be what I would choose
    But this is the stuff You use

    To break me of impatience
    Conquer my frustrations
    I've got a new appreciation
    It's not the end of the world
    Oh Oh Oh

    This is the stuff that drives me crazy
    This is the stuff
    Someone save me
    In the middle of my little mess
    I forget how big I'm blessed
    This is the stuff that gets under my skin
    And I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
    It might not be what I would choose
    But this is the stuff You use

    Oh oh oh oh
    This is the stuff You use Writer/s: FRANCESCA BATESTELLI, IAN ESKELIN, TONY WOOD
