[Verse 1]
Hardlight
Slips under my door this late at night
Keeps you on my mind
That sound
Comin' from my head, that screaming out
Don't feel right
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you see the weight I'm wearing on my shoulder?
Each one's worse and stays a little longer
[Chorus]
I came out to say that I, I'm not feeling the same
Sitting on your bed, coming down
[Verse 2]
She asks
"What could be this bad? There's nothing wrong"
"I just feel low"
So she says
"Let's go walking, maybe then you'll know"

[Pre-Chorus]
"I wish I could do something to change your mind"
She said, "Can't you see it was a matter of time?"
[Chorus]
I came out to say that I, I'm not feeling the same
Sitting on your bed, coming down
Fucked it up again, I'm looking alive and I'm feeling fine

Oh, I'm looking to start a fight
Give me a reason, give me a reason
I'm looking to start a fight
Give me a reason, give me something to bite
Oh, I'm looking to start a fight
Give me a reason, give me a reason
[Chorus]
I came out to say that I, I'm not feeling the same
Sitting on your bed, coming down
Fucked it up again, I'm looking alive and I'm feeling fine
What was I supposed to say?

Caleb Harper:
That was also written around the same time as “Clean My Car”. It took months to get the chorus. I remember it was really hot, like 40 degrees in Perth, and I was sitting in my car, just cranking the air conditioning. I wrote the chorus and was like, ‘Yes!’ It’s about feeling embarrass...
