[Verse 1]
I just wanna hear you say my name
Tell me that you need me but don’t play games
Tell me when you realize you were wrong
Tell me that you’ll listen to all my songs
Tell me that you want something better than this
If I could see your face, babe, I’d give it a kiss
But you won't really care, no, if I hit or miss
Maybe there’s a better way but I don’t wanna get away
[Pre-Chorus]
Fuck it, I’m a regular but I don’t even like it here
And I don’t wanna see you hurt but I don’t wanna be your dirt
[Verse 2]
Maybe in the sunshine it’ll be the same
Show me that it’s all mine, don’t give it away
Leap into the drum line, beat it in your brain
I don’t even know why it ever even changed
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know that I love you more than I ever have before
And I don’t wanna let you go ’til I know it’s gone for good
[Chorus]
It’s better if I break away
I don’t think you'll ever look at me the same
Shit is fucked but I should get up anyway
Never have I been so low
Battery died from the radio
Let’s meet up to see if it’s love or something else
[Post-Chorus]
One of these days it’ll be my fault
I think it’s better if we don’t talk
One of these days it’ll be my fault
I think it’s better, better
[Verse 3]
I know that you’ll hear this, I think it’s the one
Danny made the music and Graham played the drums
Now I’m writing lyrics, tryna make it bump
But this isn’t about you, I’m just having fun
I just met a girl who made me feel new
She could be the world but that would be a fluke
I don’t think it’s that deep, I don’t think it's true
Maybe there’s a better way but I don’t wanna get away
[Pre-Chorus]
Fuck it, I’m a regular but I don’t even like it here
And I don’t wanna see you hurt but I don’t wanna be your dirt
Wait–
[Chorus]
It’s better if I break away
I don’t think you'll ever look at me the same
Shit is fucked but I should get up anyway
Never have I been so low
Battery died from the radio
Let’s meet up to see if it’s love or something else
[Post-Chorus]
One of these days it’ll be my fault
I think it’s better if we don’t talk
One of these days it’ll be my fault
I think it’s better, better
[Bridge]
I’m glowing now
Do you see me?
I’m glowing now
Do you see me?
I’m glowing now
I glow
Do you–
Do–
Do you see me now?
I’m glowing now!
[Chorus]
It’s better if I break away
I don’t think you'll ever look at me the same
Shit is fucked but I should get up anyway
Never have I been so low
Battery died from the radio
Let’s meet up to see if it’s love or something else
[Post-Chorus]
One of these days it’ll be my fault
I think it’s better if we don’t talk
One of these days it’ll be my fault
I think it’s better, better
