Catchy, clever, pointed folk with country inflections, about ambition and FOMO, by the singer, actress and daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman heralding her forthcoming album, Chaos Angel, out on 31 May on Mom + Pop Records. The song is inspired by the writing ambitions of a college friend of her brother. Maya Hawke is best known for her role in the Netflix TV series Stranger Things, and with roles in recent films Asteroid City and Maestro.

Lucy wants to write the next great American novel
And she can't even read the bottle
She says I might be a genius
Well, she could be a model
Didn't think I'd get in, so I didn't apply
Now I'm a drunk hanger-on
Hittin' on the younger guy
I buy booze for the Ivy League with my television salary
They think they look up to me, ha
Well, I was left like coals in leaves
And I sparked up in winter's breeze
And now I know it's me who's missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
Now I know it's me who's missin' out
But I was born with my foot in thе door
And my mind in the gutter and my guts on the floor
Holdin' thе party line
Embarrassed all the time
I remember my potential
Before I skipped the fundamentals
Before I ran from safety
Hopin' someone would chase me
Well, I was left like coals in leaves
And I sparked up in winter's breeze
And now I know it's me who's missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
Now I know it's me who's missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
Now I know it's me who's missin' out
I've been someone to talk about
I wanna be someone to talk to
I've bitten off way more than I can spit out
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
Now I know it's me who's missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
Now I know it's me who's missin' out
I'm missin' out
I'm missin' out, out …
