[Verse 1]
Motion, breaking the space, the steps I retrace
The ground feels like an ocean
Writhing in pain, I try to explain
The words just come out
Broken like the limbs we used to crawl
With hopeful eyes, into the sun
[Pre-Chorus]

Learning how to hold on by letting go, letting go
Vertigo, vertigo

Drifting in the tide, the undertow, undertow
Slowly going blind in the afterglow, afterglow
I am falling faster, vertigo, vertigo
Learning how to hold on by letting go, letting go
Vertigo

How can you say that everything is meaningless
When we are the product of such a random disaster?
[Bridge]
Drifting in the tide, the undertow, undertow
Slowly going blind in the afterglow, afterglow
I am falling faster, vertigo, vertigo
I'm learning how to hold on to you by letting go, letting go
Vertigo, vertigo, vertigo, vertigo
