[Intro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
I'm still starin' at you through a telescope
I'm on my tippy toes
Tryin' to see behind the walls that float around you
Spinnin' like the moons of Jupiter
It was so beautiful
When I was in it, gettin' used to all of
Your friends and your house and your life
Where is the architect?
'Cause they never sat down to build mine
[Chorus]
But it's true
There's a universe outside of you
I don't like it but I'm tryin' to hold both my hands on the wheel
And just know that someday, I'll be happy out here
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
I'm still screamin' at you through a microphone
But you're never at thе show
And I'm only smilin' 'til I get back home
To lie in bеd and wrestle with this need to check
And see where I should have been
See all the better shit that's happenin' with
Your friends in your house for your life
I was a part of it
Deep breath, I know now, it's not mine
[Chorus]
And it's true
There's a universe outside of you
I don't like it but I'm tryin' to hold both my hands on the wheel
And just know that someday, I'll be happy out here
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
I'm throwin' a party
Goin' to invite everybody
I'm sorry if it sounds dumb
But I'm throwin' a party
I'm goin' to invite everybody
I'm sorry that you can't come
[Chorus]
But it's true
There's a universe outside of you
I don't like it but I'm tryin' to hold both my hands on the wheel
And just know that with space, somethin' new will appear
And someday, I'll be happy out here
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
