[Verse 1]
I'm itchin' on a photograph
Yeah, I'm scratchin' on a thermostat
Yeah, I'm giving up on looking back
Yeah, I'm letting go of what I have
Yeah, I'm itchin' on a photograph
Yeah, I'm scratchin' on a thermostat
Yeah, I'm letting go all of that I have
Yeah, I'm itchin' on a photograph
[Chorus]
Feel the rain come down and you'll know now
Put that fire out, you're brave
Ever wonder how you can see now
That this landing ground is safe
[Post-Chorus]
You'll know, you'll know, you'll know
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'm waiting on my mom and dad
Yeah, I'm swinging on a branch that'll last
Yeah, I'm going up, then falling back
Yeah, I'm itchin' on a photograph
[Chorus]
Feel the rain come down and you'll know now
Put that fire out, you're brave
Ever wonder how you can see now
That this landing ground
[Bridge]
And it's all while you were sleeping
Yeah, it's all while you were up
[Verse 3]
I'm itchin' on a photograph
Yeah, I'm scratchin' on a thermostat, uh-oh
Yeah, I'm letting go of all that I have
Yeah, I'm living now and living lasts
I'm itchin' on a photograph
Yeah, I'm scratchin' on a thermostat
Yeah, I'm letting go of what I have
I'm living now and living lasts
[Outro]
Oh
Oh
Woah
