[Intro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


[Verse 1]

Feels like the end of the world

I can't remember how I got here

Feels like I've crashed and I've burned

And there's a million people watching


[Pre-Chorus]

They got their wide screen TV on a handheld

Leaving all your luck with baby Jesus on a candle

Giving up your dreams, you carry more than you can handle

It's more than you can handle


[Chorus]

I'm trying to read between the lines tonight

And I can't let it show

I've been waiting on a sign tonight

And I can't let it go

I don't wanna know, yeah, I don't wanna know

I can't pretend that I do when I don't

I'm trying to read between the lines tonight

And I can't let it show, no, I can't let it show


[Verse 2]

Feels like the end of the world

I don't know what I should believe in

I tried to build up the nerve

But I keep falling off the deep end


[Pre-Chorus]

They got their wide screen TV on a handheld

Leaving all your luck with Virgin Mary on a candle

Spending all your money 'cause the paper doesn't matter

Yeah, nothing really matters


[Chorus]

I'm trying to read between the lines tonight

And I can't let it show

I've been waiting on a sign tonight

And I can't let it go

I don't wanna know, yeah, I don't wanna know

I can't pretend that I do when I don't

I'm trying to read between the lines tonight

And I can't let it show, no, I can't let it show


[Bridge]

Give me slow distraction

Got no words to say

All the world's on fire

I can't look away


[Pre-Chorus]

They got their wide screen TV on a handheld

Leaving all your luck with baby Jesus on a candle

Giving up your dreams, you carry more than you can handle

It's more than you can handle


[Chorus]

I'm trying to read between the lines tonight

And I can't let it show

I've been waiting on a sign tonight

And I can't let it go

I don't wanna know, yeah, I don't wanna know

I can't pretend that I do when I don't

I'm trying to read between the lines tonight

And I can't let it show, no, I can't let it show


[Outro]

Read between the lines tonight

Waiting on a sign tonight
