[Verse 1]

Walking down an avenue somewhere downtown

Trying to find a new way like an alley or a freshly paved road

One that's been closed for a while

Just to maybe see a new face

Nose has been running and the cold doesn't help

It could be the stress or the way that you brushed me off

Again, you promised me that you would call around 10


[Chorus]

So cue me trying to find meaning in the cracks in my walls

Searching for the right person to tell me I'm wrong

Found myself desperately washing my hands

Cause sometimes we're scared of things we don't understand

Cue me trying to get off of the train that keeps speeding on


[Verse 2]

I know I ran that red light but I can't seem to care

Honestly, I hope that this ticket will lead me somewhere

Bored of feeling depressed over everyday occurrences

I'm sick of being sad that I'm scheduled too much

I've been through one heartbreak, why do I hope it's not the last one?

I wanna be terrified about UFO sightings on my street


[Chorus]

So cue me trying to find meaning in the cracks in my walls

Searching for the right person to tell me I'm wrong

Found myself desperately washing my hands

Cause sometimes we're scared of things we don't understand

Cue me trying to get off of the train that keeps speeding on

So cue me trying to find emergency brakes in the walls

Cause I need someone to tell me the things I've done wrong

And I'm hoping that this is part of a plan

Cause I'm getting tired of being human

Cue me trying to get off of the train that keeps speeding on

It keeps speeding, speeding on
