Lyrics
V1
You're always staring out the window
I'm always wondering what you see
I hope it doesn't come off shallow
Wondering if it has to do with meYou never know just how you're feeling
But I'll fill those spaces in between
I never know just what I'm thinking
But I'll let you think those things with mePRE
Anything you need, baby imma be right there for, I'm there for you
Tell me what you see, baby imma be right there for you, I'm thereCHORUS
For you
For youV2
I wanna dive into your ocean
Only if you can help me breath
And honestly I wouldn't mind drowning
As long as you're right next to mePRE
CHORUS
BRIDGE
For you
Imma imma imma be
There for you
For you

Imma imma imma be

For you

CHORUS
Waking up at 19 has got me so confused and I hate it
Can't help but question everything I watch on the new so I'll fake it
There's more to life than we thought ya
I thought we figured it out yeah
Because the only thing I know is
I don't want to live without yaV1
Hey
When did the world turn upside down
Somehow my head keeps spinning around
And I don't know how to come back down
For a minute, give me a second
(and)Hey
It's been a while since I've talked to my friends
Do they miss me like I miss them
I'm overthinking everything
Again, again
(wait)CHORUS
V2
Hey
I'm just a little uncomfortable
Feels like I'm in the same place I was
A year ago, did I waste my time
Feels like I'm dying
And I'm just being honest I don't know what I'm doing
Trying to figure myself out because I'm afraid of losing
I have so many questions I guess that makes me human
It will all work out, it will all work out
It will all work, I'll make it all workCHORUS
God if you're listening to me
Please tell me all I need to know
Because I just want to tell my dad "hey look, I made it" before I go
There's more to life than we thought yeah
I thought we figured it out yeah
Because the only thing I know is
I don't want to live without ya -

Lyrics
V1
Sometimes I wonder if I'm living right
Sometimes I can't sleep at night
And I don't know why
Wish I knew whyI always feel like I'm not doing enough
Asking myself stupid questions a lot
And I don't know why
Wish I knew whyPRE
And every once in a while
I wonder what my life would be like from inside the screen
Like what we seen on TVCHORUS
I wish I could dry these tears and see it clean
But it's just so pixelated
When did it all burn down now I'm filled with doubt
Guess our program is outdated
Wish we lived in an 80s movie
But in a modern world it can't be the same
I wish we lived in a retro video game
oh oh
In a retro video game
Where we just hit save
Where we just hit saveV2
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like
If I could fly or I had 3 lives yeah
Is that alright yeah
Up down and sideways on a remote
Constantly switching like a Nintendo
Can you hear the crescendo
(oh oh)PRE

V1
I could help myself from staring at my phone
Hoping your name lights up even though it won'tI keep convincing myself all along
There is something something
I'm fucked so why am I holding on
To nothing, nothingCHORUS
Kiss my lips yeah we'll take it slow
Cuz everyone around us is out of control
I won't want to wake up I just want to know
Last night you're fine
But you're gone in the morningFeels like I'm somehow stuck in a dream
If all this was real then you wouldn't leave
God I hate the way my mind is lost in between
Last night you're fine
But you're gone in the morning
Gone in the morningV2
The way your eyes light up when you smile
Our little conversations I can't get enough so would you stay for a whileI keep convincing myself all along
There is something something
I'm fucked so why am I holding on
To nothing, nothingCHORUS
OUTRO
You'll think I'm out of my mind
So I'll hold it deep inside
You'll think I'm out of my mind

Lyrics
I've been standing here looking in the mirror
Tryna find a way to see me clearer
I was wondering if you would ever let me down
Sometimes I feel like I'm walking on a wire
Instability couldn't be higher
Why are we so scared of looking down down downOooh oooh I'm falling
When I should be holding on
Tryna reconfigure what I'm seeing in the mirror
I'm holding on for you
It's hard to tell yourself but it will be alright
So keep holding on for youHow do you know you're not talking to a liar
When all the words you shot have been misfired
I'm running low on ammunition I refuse to go down down down
Sometimes I feel like I'm pulled by a river
Wishing that I was a better swimmer
But adrenaline is kicking through my body I won't let me drown -

Lyrics
V1
I'm feeling restless
So disconnected
So many sleepless nights
wouldn't recommend it
I'm apprehensive
Don't know where my head is
You wear your heart on your sleeve
I wear my nerves on a necklacePC
Feel like I've been holding my breath
I'm anxious and I'm out of my depthChorus
so I wrap myself around in the arms of my own sweater
find myself in doubt thinking how can I do better
the voices in my head are getting louder than my friends
It's harder and harder to play pretend
while i'm stuck in the deep endV2
It's hard to follow
If you go where I go
You can't drown in a puddle
You can't feel my struggleBridge
I feel the weight fall on my shoulders
I guess this is getting older
Does it get easier
Or do we get used it? -

V1
9am met catastrophe in my plans
Lost my phone to gravity my routine brokePC
left my keys, missed a right street, stopped at green before it turned yellow
all mistakes, that i made, lead to me & you at hello, ohChorus
What's the odds on a different day
Or if I ran one minute late
A stranger I thought I would never know
now there's no day that I never won't
We were meant to meet on accidentV2
crossed my path
now constantly
cross my head
always timing through a clock, but it's always better when it's not cause
in the endBridge
Every day I wanna know how it goes
But oh every day it's not how I thought it'd go -

V1
I knew I liked you from a first glance
Wanted all my plans to revolve around you
Something about us had a real chance
But I can't help that my heart isn't brand newPC
You pull me in i push away
I let my head get in my way
Tell you that you won't want to stay
Just Run away run awayChorus
I thought that i was clear
But you saw right through
Tell you i don't want you here
But you know i do
I told myself that i was doing the right thing
But you already knew
I was thunder to lightning
Clear
You saw right throughV2
Only you could out call me out like that
Rifle through my bag for another excuse
Feels like I'd fall apart and you would bounce back
then you remind me that your heart breaks tooBridge
You push me in I pull away -

It's hard to tell yourself but it will be alright
So keep holding on for youHow do you know you're not talking to a liar
Your graphic t shirt
Says all I can't articulate
Words that speak my mind
I compliment you
Crossing my fingers
You would see
That yours look good in mineAnd the silent static
My head goes tragic
it'll end in seconds
Like all of those 90s movie scenes
Cos When I get romantic
Feelings always fade like
sunless sunflower
By the sinkYou wear me out like fabric
Replace my favourite jacket
That I've worn every day
And I love how it feels the same
like satin wear me out like fabricFeels like I'm spinning
Its like I'm weaving in and out
The patterns of our day
Unraveled thoughts
You sew me up so I don't lose
What I want to stayYou wear me out like fabric
Replace my favourite jacket -
