[Verse 1]
I'm a ticking-ticking time bomb
Keep making everybody happy, fuck what I want
I think it's time to flip the switch and turn the lights on
Go turn the lights on (You know you gotta turn the lights on, lights on)
'Cause you've been tripping on your ego
And I've been bending over backwards, I'm in limbo
Slipping further away every time I get close
Just keep me in the nosebleeds
You're in the front row, the front row
[Pre-Chorus]
Play it cool while I'm mentally leaving the room (Ah-ah, ah)
Never knew I was so good at concealing the truth
[Chorus]
You got me sideways, screaming it out on the highway
You got me running out of reasons for me to keep bеlieving in this
You got me sideways, hеart beatin' faster than lightning
And all I know is I gotta let you go
[Post-Chorus]
I gotta let you go
Go-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
And all I know is I gotta let you go
I gotta let you go
[Verse 2]
Insanity has me repeating
How many different ways can I say that I'm leaving?
'Cause romanticizing the truth is so deceiving
Should've believed you the first time you left me bleeding, bleeding
[Pre-Chorus]
Play it cool while I'm mentally leaving the room (Ah-ah, ah)
Never knew I was so good at concealing the truth
[Chorus]
You got me sideways, screaming it out on the highway
You got me running out of reasons for me to keep believing in this
You got me sideways, heart beatin' faster than lightning
And all I know is I gotta let you go
[Post-Chorus]
I gotta let you go
Go-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
And all I know is I gotta let you go
I gotta let you go
Go-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Let you go
Go-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
Been tripping on your ego
And I've been bending over backwards, I'm in limbo
Slipping further away every time I get close
Just keep me in the nosebleeds
You're in the front row, the front row

The feeling you get when at a crossroads of knowing it’s time to let someone go vs actually doing so can leave you Sideways and this song is a reckoning of that in between. Writing Sideways was that time of the album where a song about dissociating from toxic relationships as means to cope desperate...
