[Verse 1]

Can I put my bags down here?

How do I know you won't disappear?

Can I? Can I?

Would it be okay to take it slow?

Just tell me if you don't, you don't want me here

I was, I was

Always quick to rush in, always all or nothing

That's how it was, that's how it was

Shouldn't we just cut the cord?

If you could hurt me more than he ever did

This is no way to live

[Pre-Chorus]

Got my feet on the ground, but my head's up the stairs

(Don't jump in, I cannot swim)

And I'm spiralin' down, but I'm up in the, up in the air

(I can't take loss, can't lose again)

I'm up in the air

And it's fine in the basement and on the first floor

(If we jump in, I cannot swim)

Though my knees aren't shakin', my head's feelin' worse than before

(Can't lose again)

Is it worse than before?

[Chorus]

Don't think I can stand it, ah yeah

There's panic in the attic, panic in the attic

You're not the one who did me damage, not yet

But there's panic in the attic, panic in the attic

It's not your fault

[Verse 2]

Can I make the paradigm shift?

Or will you leave me like my father did

When I was a kid?

Can there be another way?

Is it too soon to say?

Can it be what it is?

Can you handle all this?

[Pre-Chorus]

Got my feet on the ground, but my head's up the stairs

(Don't jump in, I cannot swim)

And I'm spiralin' down, but I'm up in the, up in the air

(I can't take loss, can't lose again)

I'm up in the air

And it's fine in the basement and on the first floor

(If we jump in, I cannot swim)

Though my knees aren't shakin', my head's feelin' worse than before

(Can't lose again)

Is it worse than before?

[Chorus]

Don't think I can stand it, ah yeah

There's panic in the attic, panic in the attic

You're not the one who did me damage, not yet

But there's panic in the attic, panic in the attic

It's not your fault
