[Verse 1]
Can I just go numb for a while?
I'm thinkin’ that I felt too much
Take it down a notch on the dial
Let me float, lose my sense of touch
Can I please go numb? I don't need this
Can I just sit and collect some dust?
'Cause one second I was runnin’, and it was pure place
The next I'm limpin' with a crutch
[Chorus 1]
Can I please go numb?
Can I please go numb?
[Verse 2]
Can I just go numb for a minute?
My heart has seen such highs and lows
It feels so stretched past the limit
Is it so bad I have a heart of stone?
Can I please go numb? Anesthetics
How broken is my heart, who knows?
It's so quick from joy to pain, what a cruel trick
This goes deeper than-a skin and bones
[Chorus 1]
Can I please go numb?
Can I please go numb? Mm-mm
Can I please go numb?
Can I please go numb?
[Bridge]
How much would we miss out on if we couldn't feel?
Our peaks and valleys all make our stories real
In times when I feel like these wounds will never heal
Oh Lord, remind me of the joy, the bank and steel
[Chorus 2]
I ain't goin' numb
No, I ain't goin’ numb
I ain’t goin' numb, no, oh-oh-oh
I ain’t goin' numb
[Bridge]
How much would we miss out on if we couldn't feel?
I ain't goin’ numb
Our peaks and valleys all make our stories real
I ain't goin' numb
In times when I feel like these wounds will never heal
I ain't goin' numb
Oh Lord, remind me of the joy, the bank and steel
[Chorus 2]
I ain't goin' numb
I ain't goin' numb
I ain't goin' numb
