[Verse 1]

Another day with no light

Feeling alone in a double life

So far away I levitate

Somewhere between the shadow and the darkest place

And I start to slip away


[Chorus]

Don't wait up now

Heavy heart, my head's like ten feet up now

So high above the ground

Don't wait up now

'Cause I'm halfway to the clouds

While everything inside of me is crashing down


[Verse 2]

I covered up my tracks so long ago

Like cracking ice hidden under snow

If I lie to you could I believe it too?

I need something to fuck me up 'cause I can't take the truth

So I run and split in two

Thin air in a crowded room


[Chorus]

Don't wait up now

Heavy heart, my head's like ten feet up now

So high above the ground

Don't wait up now

'Cause I'm halfway to the clouds

While everything inside of me is crashing down


[Bridge]

I can't hold myself together if I can't feel my hands

I can't make myself get better if I can't understand

I can't tell you where I'm going

I can't tell you when this ends

I need something to hold on to until we leave again

Don't tell me it's my fault

Just catch me when I fall back to earth

'Cause my world gets so blurry

And it's too hard to stay here

Fracture and disappear


[Chorus]

(Don't wait up now)

(Heavy heart, my head's like ten feet up now)

(So high above the ground)

(Don't wait up now)

Don't wait up now

Heavy heart, my head's like ten feet up now

So high above the ground

Don't wait up now

'Cause I'm halfway to the clouds

While everything inside of me is crashing down

It's crashing down
