{Verse 1}
And you're running through my mind again
And I can't figure out again
Why we always gotta do this
Why we always go through this
Am I making no sense again?
Are we back on the fence again?
Am I too loud? Am I too proud? Am I too arrogant?
Am I on the wrong page again?
Am I turning away again?
Am I too cheap? Am I last week? Am I too hesitant?
{Pre-chorus}
And we used to be a team, same letters
What was it you mean by 'do better'?
And I don't need to dream, you dream weaver
We used to be a team, used to be a team
[Chorus}
I'm in the backseat, right behind my eyelids
Asking if you like it, asking if you like it
With the same sound, never knew to come 'round
Always on the up/down with you
I'm in the backseat, right behind my eyelids
Asking if you like it, asking if you like it
With the same sound, never knew to come 'round
Always on the up/down with you
{Verse 2}
Am I running out of time again?
Am I out of my mind again?
Am I getting on your nerves again?
Are you feeling unheard again?
Are we playing a game again?
Am I saying her name again?
Am I too high? Am I too shy? Am I too negative?
Am I getting too down again?
Are we gonna break down again?
Am I too tame? Am I to blame? Am I run down again?
{Pre-chorus 2}
And you're pulling at the seams, we do better
To spell out what we need in bold letters
We're running out of steam, we're on empty
We used to be a team, used to be a team
[Chorus}
I'm in the backseat, right behind my eyelids
Asking if you like it, asking if you like it
With the same sound, never knew to come 'round
Always on the up/down with you
I'm in the backseat, right behind my eyelids
Asking if you like it, asking if you like it
With the same sound, never knew to come 'round
Always on the up/down with you
{Outro}
And you're running through my mind again
And I can't figure out again
Why we always wanna do this
Why we always go through this
