Lyrics

This just dawned on me:
 I haven't spoken to another person in a week
 I've been sitting silently, telling myself I need time to think
 I met you at the coffeeshop
 We marched on the interstate and blocked the cops
 The echoes of the flash grenades
 Rang in our ears as we moved along
 I called it "positivity"
 And congratulated myself on a job well done
 But after a couple of days
 The fire that I thought would burn it down was gone
 Meet me at the Polish bar
 I'll be the one staring at my phone
 Shaking like a nervous kid
 Absolutely terrified of being alone
 So where can you go when the troubles inside you
 Make your limbs feel like they're covered in lead?
 How can you solve all the problems around you
 When you can't even solve the ones in your head?
 I need you right now
 I need you right now
 Before I feel totally dead
 ♪
 This just dawned on me:
 I haven't spoken to another person in a month
 Well, small talk, obviously
 But nothing beyond barely catching up
 I have lots of things to say
 But they're gonna sound dumb dumb dumb
 I have lots of things to say
 But I'm just an idiot
 So where can you go when the troubles inside you
 Make your limbs feel like they're covered in lead?
 How can you solve all the problems around you
 When you can't even solve the ones in your head?
 I need you right now
 I need you right now
 Before I feel totally dead
 ♪
 Shriek into the toxic well
 Where everybody's screaming for themselves
 And leaves no space to process feeling lost
 These overwhelming distractions
 Lead to powerlessness
 And I feel to weak to walk it off
 ♪
 Meet me at the Polish bar
 I'll be the one staring at my phone
 Shaking like a nervous kid
 Totally terrified of being alone
 So where can you go when the troubles inside you
 Make your limbs feel like they're covered in lead?
 How can you solve all the problems around you
 When you can't even solve the ones in your head?
 I need you right now
 I need you right now
 Before I feel totally dead
