[Verse 1]
On a trip to nowhere
Our bodies planted there
Obsessed with what's next
You've always been fanatic
So much to beware of
Hurts how much I care
Guess we've got our flares
I've always been so dramatic
[Chorus]
Could we sit and stand still
Let it all spill
Your first go, letting yourself feel
Drowned in this notion
Like the depths of this ocean
I get it
[Verse 2]
It's my fourth time 'round the sun
Still feels like there's another one
In a minute we could be done
Let's shift the focus
And let it go nowhere
[Chorus]
Could we sit and stand still
Let it all spill
Your first go, letting yourself feel
Drowned in this notion
Like the depths of this ocean
I get it
Could we sit and stand still
Let it all spill
Your first go, letting yourself feel
Drowned in this notion
Like the depths of this ocean
I get it
[Bridge]
Let's just make this work for right now
It's not you, it's not me either
Glad we had this moment out loud
We just shift the focus
[Chorus]
Could we sit and stand still
Let it all spill
Your first go, letting yourself feel
Drowned in this notion
Like the depths of this ocean
I get it, I get it
Let's just make this work for right now (Could we sit and stand still)
(Let it all spill)
And it's not you, it's not me either (Your first go, letting yourself feel)
I'm glad we had this moment out loud
Let's shift the focus
(Let's shift the focus)
(Let's shift the focus)
Drowned in this notion
Like the depth of this ocean
I get it
Could we sit and stand still
Could we sit and stand still?
