[Verse 1]
Tell me all about it, babe, and take another bite
Sitting on the sofa, it's the same shit every night
Maybe everything is as perfect as it seems
And maybe I don't ever wanna wake up from this dream
It's too much power
[Verse 2]
On the cusp of the greatness, it's the life I waited for
What a pretty privilege, babe, to be in love and bored
And it's sickening, what have I become?
Wouldn't it be awful if it all just came undone?
[Chorus]
It's a feeling in the background
And I don't think, never let it get loud
I'm three words away from absolutely fucking ruining your life
I'm freaking out
[Verse 2]
The sea will part around me, catch me if you can
I slowly realise how powerful I really am
And it's so physical, you're lucky that I'm kind
So subliminal, locked on the inside
[Chorus]
It's a feeling in the background
And I don't think, never let it get loud
And I'm three words away from absolutely fucking ruining your life
I'm freaking out
Oh, I'm freaking out
[Bridge]
See, I love you
I hate that I'm all yours
I woke up, I ruined it
It's too much power
[Chorus]
It's a feeling in the background
I don't think, never let it get loud
I'm three words away from absolutely fucking ruining your life
From absolutely fucking ruining my own damn life
From absolutely fucking ruining your life
I'm freaking out
Oh, I'm freaking out
