Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Woke up with a hurricane haircut

Coffee cup shaking in my hand

Teeth brushing to a waltz in my ribcage

Heartbreak marching like a brass band

My shadow’s doing stand-up in the mirror

Cracking jokes I almost understand

I pin a little smile to my jacket

Call it “Plan B

” call it quicksand

[Pre-Chorus]

I’ve got traffic lights in my pupils

Red

Green

Flicker then fade

If I start to spin in circles

Would you still stay

Still stay?

[Chorus]

Welcome to my patchwork mind parade

Fast lane

Then a dead-stop fade

Laughing as the colors trade

I’m okay

I’m okay (I think)

Dancing on a tightrope frayed

High then low like a stock exchange

Sing along if you feel this strange

I’m okay

I’m okay (on the brink)

[Verse 2]

Thoughts stacked like plates in an earthquake

One wrong word and they all slide

I write love notes on prescription labels

Fold them into paper butterflies

There’s a circus camping in my skull now

Lion-tamer sleeping on the tracks

Every time I try to find an exit

It just loops me right back

[Pre-Chorus]

I’ve got thunderclouds in my pockets

Lightning stitched into my sleeve

If I hand you all my weather

Would you still leave

Still leave?

[Chorus]

Welcome to my patchwork mind parade

Fast lane

Then a dead-stop fade

Laughing as the colors trade

I’m okay

I’m okay (I think)

Dancing on a tightrope frayed

High then low like a stock exchange

Sing along if you feel this strange

I’m okay

I’m okay (on the brink)

[Bridge]

[Tempo drops

Piano and cello only]

Some days I’m the quiet library

Every book shelved in a line

Whispering “you’re doing fine

You’re fine”

Even when the margins scream

Some days I’m a runaway carousel

Spinning past the closing time

Everyone’s already gone home

But the lights stay

The lights stay

The lights stay on

[Build]

[Drums creep in

Bagpipes swell softly]

If my smile is speaking cursive

Can you read between the teeth?

If my laughter sounds rehearsed

Will you wait for what’s beneath?

Count to four with me then backwards

Hold my hand through every bend

If we never find the answer

Will you still pretend?

[Chorus]

Welcome to my patchwork mind parade

Fast lane

Then a dead-stop fade

Laughing as the colors trade

I’m okay

I’m okay (I think)

Dancing on a tightrope frayed

High then low like a stock exchange

Sing along if you feel this strange

I’m okay

I’m okay (on the brink)

[Outro]

[Half-time

Big cinematic swell]

So here’s to every crooked halo

Every joke that hid a plea

Raise a toast to all the chaos

Marching time inside of me

If your head’s a haunted house too

You can walk beside my drum

We’ll be perfectly unstable

Till the morning

Till it comes (oh yeah)
