Originally called “Out Swimming In The Flood”, the title of the song was changed out of respect following the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami. It now references an author named Chuck Palahniuk.
Fightstar was Charlie Simpson’s first band since he left Busted in 2004. This is their first son...
I'm not in your house but I'm not in your head
And you're not even listening
It's so hard to know when you're not scared
Please don't help me
Please don't hate me
And stop putting me down 'cause I won't ever understand
(Stop panicking, stop panicking)
I see it in your eyes, I see it in your mind
(Stop panicking, stop panicking)
I'm trying not to speak 'cause you can't hear my voice
And nothing seems familiar here
On the other side of this town
Please don't help me
Please don't help me
And stop putting me down 'cause I won't ever understand
(Stop panicking, stop panicking)
I see it in your eyes, I see it in your mind
(Stop panicking, stop panicking)
Hold on
Hold on
If I see this all again, I'll try to take my time
I wonder how fast you could try
All of this time I thought you knew
All of this time I thought you knew
