[Verse 1]

Fell out of place today

I could feel it was coming on hard

And I heard everything you’d say

Sometimes all I need is not that far away

Fell out of place today

I could tell by the rate of my heart

That I’d spent too much time awake

Sometimes all I need is just too hard to take

But I felt like I was suffering

So I chose to walk away

And now everytime you see me I’ll be tryna shift the blame


[Chorus]

No you don’t wanna touch me now

Or speak too loud

Feeling like the only one left in the room

If it gets brighter when the lights go down

A feeling of what we got lеft and what we’ve been through

Break undеr responsibilities

I’d be safe here if you ever would

So i’ll stay quiet on the way out

You know I’m only passing through


[Verse 2]

I’m gonna burn away

Just a typical day of my life

I’m not here tryna take the bait

Sometimes all I need is time to make mistakes

If it looks like I’ve been struggling

(it looks like I’ve been struggling)

Might be time to walk away

(Might be time to walk away)

And if everytime you see me

I’m still tryna shift the blame

Know I can’t help it

Can’t take enough for granted

If the world was spinning round

I’d think that I was born to land it


[Chorus]

No you don’t wanna touch me now

Or speak too loud

Feeling like the only one left in the room

If it gets brighter when the lights go down

A feeling of what we got left and what we’ve been through

Break under responsibilities

I’d be safe here if you ever would

So i’ll stay quiet on the way out

You know I’m only passing through


[Instrumental Break]


[Bridge]

Now are you passing through or will you stay a while to notice

Someone was trying to reach you

No you don’t wanna touch me now

Or speak too loud

Now are you passing through like printer paper cartridge low today

If it gets brighter when the lights go down

Someone is trying to reach you

Feeling what we got left and what we've been through


[Solo]


[Chorus]

No you don’t wanna touch me now

Or speak too loud

Are you passing through or will you stay a while

If it gets brighter when the lights go down

Cause someone was trying to reach you

And if we break under responsibilities

I’d be safe here if you ever would

So i’ll stay quiet on the way out

You know I’m only passing through
