[Verse 1]
Your lips touch my shoulder, yeah
And when we take off all our clothes
I feel alive when I'm with you
With you, with you
We're only getting older, and
Time keeps ticking by
And I don't feel alive, like I used to

It's like I'm stuck in standby, if I knew how
Then I could fucking leave this all behind
If I knew how

Burn my whole life to the ground
Don't need no pay stub, I'll be a loser

And if I don't hеat up, I swear, I'll die alone
And who I could have been
What I could've done
If I had known
[Chorus]
It's like I got my hands tied inside out
It's like I'm stuck in standby, if I knew how
Then I could fucking leave this all behind
If I knew how
It's like I got my hands tied inside out
It's like I'm stuck in standby, if I knew how
Then I could fucking leave this all behind
If I knew how
