“ i was born on March 16th . 3:16 is a popular bible verse that i believe in… but on the contrary… 3am is a dark hour… strong urges to want to leap off a building… this song is about real life depression, addiction, destructive love and suicide… it was a dark time for me + i s...
[Verse 1]
Out of place, out of space and time, wide awake
Out of papers I am, not okay
I am out my mind
Outer space, that’s where I been goin'
To a place where, place where nobody knows
Floating at a pace where now you see me now and now you don’t
[Hook]
I do not feel the fear of fallin, I wanna fly
If it all goes well then I will
But what if I don’t?
[Bridge]
Ill be right where I was before
But I’m not alone, you say take my hand
And we go (and we go), and we go (and we go)
And I hope that we don’t overdose
Cause we don’t (cause we don’t)
No we don’t (no we don't)
Ever know when we have had enough
Wait...
[Verse 2]
Now my thoughts so cloudy and my hearts so crowded with hate
I am so frustrated like my souls been taken away
Broken promise of everything that I thought you were
Thought you said this would never hurt, that’s what it did that is all
[Hook]
I do not feel the fear of falling
Thought I could fly
It didn’t go well but oh well
What do you know
[Bridge]
I’m right back where I was before
But I’m not alone, you say take my hand
And we go (and we go), and we go (and we go)
And I hope that we don’t overdose
Cause we don’t (cause we don’t)
No we don’t (no we don't)
Ever know when we have had enough
I'm a be so cold, need some more
I’ve never felt these things before
I’m a feind for sure, please don't go
How could you not need me no more?
You're the only thing that I love
You’re the only thing that I want
You’re the only reason, the only reason
I do not feel the fear of fallin', I wanna fly
If it all goes well, then I will
But what if I don’t?
Ill be right where I was before
But I’m not alone
You're all that I know

According to Songfacts, Jhené told website Lozzamusic.com:
That song’s pretty deep. It’s about addiction, not just drugs, addiction to anything that you go to when you’re in your darkest place and I think everyone can relate to that. We’ve all been to hell and back and that’s pretty much what 3:16...
