Waking Up Diagonal Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Waking up diagonal like an animal
In a cold and empty bed, yeah
Shakin' off the dream of you
I got shit to do and I'm ready to forget
I heard you got that girl a rock
I wonder if she knows that I've been there, oh yeah
Ask me how I'm doing now, I'll scream out loud
I tell 'em I don't care, I don't care

[Chorus]
I don't care
And it feels so fucking good to say I swear
That I don't care
'Cause everywhere
There are ordinary hearts that don't play fair
But I don't care

[Post-Chorus]
I don't care, oh
I don't care, oh no
I don't care, oh
I don't care, oh no

[Verse 2]
In this town word gets around, it don't bring me down
It's just static in my head, yeah yеah
So take me out and turn it up
Let's makе it rough, we're gonna wake the dead, oh baby
Everyone is saying now to slow it down
Or I'll get hurt again, oh yeah
But when his hands are feeling me
It's healing me and I'm screaming I don't care
I don't care

[Chorus]
I don't care
And it feels so fucking good to say I swear
That I don't care
'Cause everywhere
There are ordinary hearts that don't play fair
But I don't care

[Post-Chorus]
I don't care, oh
I don't care, oh no
I don't care, oh
I don't care, oh no

[Bridge]
Doesn't matter anyway, doesn't matter anyway, whoa
I can see the Milky Way, and it seems so far away, whoa
Doesn't matter anyway, it's all falling into place, whoa
Just another pretty face, disappears without a trace
There ain't nothing left to say

[Chorus]
I don't care
And it feels so fucking good to say I swear
That I don't care
'Cause everywhere
There are ordinary hearts that don't play fair
But I don't care

[Post-Chorus]
I don't care, oh
I don't care, oh no
I don't care, oh
I don't care, oh no
I don't care
