While the song isn’t specific, the theme is very clear. It’s also titled Habit suggesting that this feeling that follows her around has become a familiar part of her life.
[Verse 1]
Had a dream it was on my ceiling
I had a feeling it was in my head
If I walk outside every time it's freezing
I have to wonder if it wants me dead again
[Chorus]
It's not something I can run my hands over
It's not something I can run my hands over
It's not something I can run my hands over
It's not something I can run my hands over
[Verse 2]
I'm not afraid to walk without a way
And if I close my eyes, I'm scared I'll never get to leave the grey
I wanna sleep and never leave my bed
And then I won't hesitate to call it my friend again
[Chorus]
It's not something I can run my hands over
It's not something I can run my hands over
It's not something I can run my hands over
It's not something I can run my hands over
[Outro]
Oh, never sleep again
Oh, never sleep again
