[Verse 1]

Time is never worth my time

Blue shine bleeds into my eyes

I still sleep on the right side

But the white noise can't leave the scene behind


[Pre-Chorus]

Could I be anything you want me to be?

If so, is it meant to be seen?


[Chorus]

When you see yourself in a crowded room

Do your fingers itch? Are you pistol-whipped?

Will you step in line or release the glitch?

Can you fall asleep with a panic switch?

When you see yourself in a crowded room

Do your fingers itch? Are you pistol-whipped?

Will you step in line or release the glitch?

Do you think she'll sleep with a panic?


[Verse 2]

And I'll try to hold on tight tonight

Pink slip inviting me inside

Want to burn skin and brand what once was mine

But the red views keep ripping the divide


[Pre-Chorus]

If I go everywhere you want me to go

How will I know you'll still follow?


[Chorus]

When you see yourself in a crowded room

Do your fingers itch? Are you pistol-whipped?

Will you step in line or release the glitch?

Can you fall asleep with a panic switch?

When you see yourself in a crowded room

Do your fingers itch? Are you pistol-whipped?

Will you step in line or release the glitch?

Do you think she'll sleep with a panic?


[Bridge]

I'm waiting and fading and floating away

Waiting and fading and floating away

Waiting and fading and floating away

Waiting and fading and floating


[Guitar Solo]


[Bridge]

I'm waiting and fading and floating away

Waiting and fading and floating away

Waiting and fading and floating away

Waiting and fading, waiting and fading


[Chorus]

When you see yourself in a crowded room

Do your fingers itch? Are you pistol-whipped?

Will you step in line or release the glitch?

Can you fall asleep with a panic switch?

When you see yourself in a crowded room

Do your fingers itch? Are you pistol-whipped?

Will you step in line or release the glitch?

Do you think she'll sleep with a panic?
