[Verse 1]
My head's too crowded all the time
The colors drown me out
Until I'm too far gone to mind
That nothing's figured out
So when you find me in the sand

'Cause that's not where I'll be
[Chorus]
Ooh, I think I'm pushing my luck too far
Trying to get back to whеre we are
In unfamiliar skin
Ooh, I'm at thе edge of the universe
So does it matter if I get hurt?
If I'm on my way back in
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Ooh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Ooh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh
[Verse 3]

Next thing I know I'm in a fast car, too late to turn around
Don't tell nobody but I stole it
So when you look at me
Just know you're looking at a stranger
And you're loved by a thief
[Post-Chorus]
No
Ooh, oh, oh-oh, oh
