I don't want to let you go, but I never had a hold in the first place

Said I don't want to let you go, and now you've got my world in the worst way

Now I'm gonna trip, gonna slip, gonna flip

Dip out in the whip. Ride round, down the strip

Now sound from my lips, but I wanna settle this

I just wanna get a grip on you


[Verse 1]

How the heck did we get here? Didn't expect to be left here

My pleas fall on deaf ears. Reality signs no checks here

Can't steer this car no more. Caught all up in this carnival

Of emotions. More ghost than human. Being with you is all I know

All I go is crazy when you're not around

Nothing else can phase me, I'm not touching ground

You pump the blood in my veins and you don't even know it

Always doing shows but I never really showed it

So I'm right here, calling on you. Please pick up, I've fallen on you

I'm tired of stalling on you. I don't mean to get appalling on you

But you are the greatest thing in my life. If you leave I won't be alright

Can this be? Can you feel my plight? Can you believe? Can you see the light

Bright? I just need you here

Tonight. Need to see you clear

Without you, I'm lost and it shows

So I let go and all my thoughts get exposed, like


[Hook]


[Verse 2]

As I sit in this car seat thinking 'bout you departing

Thinking 'bout hitting the reset button, and-and-and restarting

Pull over, pull out the car keys. But the song is still harping

That ain't no kick drum. That's my heart beat

Never really gave myself a chance to describe my stance

On the matter of us. Now you kicking up dust and you let go of my hand

And I'm reaching out, but only shadows reach back

Holding out with regret. Eyes open now, I see that

You're gone, really gone, and I could've done so much more

I chase visions in the night, with my pedal to the floor

I implore you to understand if I could go back in time

You might be mine. I never should've kept those thoughts in my mind

Now I'm stuck

Feeling down and struck

In the oncoming lane I see a truck

I'm on self destruct. Ugh
