(Intro)
(Fast, muted guitar strumming or a driving synth beat)
One, two...
One, two, three, go!
(Verse 1)
Left on read, yeah, I’m checking the time
Counted every second like it’s actually a crime
You’re in the front row, I’m in the back
Everything I’m feeling, yeah, it’s falling through the crack
I’m a nervous wreck, you’re a cool breeze
Got me falling down, got me on my knees
But you don't notice, no, you don't care
You’re looking past me like I’m made of air!
(Pre-Chorus)
(Beat picks up, building tension)
And my heart’s doing laps, yeah, it’s running a race
But I’m stuck in the mud, just a ghost in the space
You’re a green light, I’m a red stop
I’m about to break, I’m about to pop!
(Chorus)
(High energy, fast-paced)
‘Cause I’m running to you, but you’re walking away
Got a million things that I’m dying to say
But you’re deaf to the sound, you’re blind to the view
I’m obsessed with the thought, but I’m nothing to you!
Yeah, I’m chasing a spark in a pouring rain
It’s a beautiful mess, it’s a high-speed pain
I’m giving you my all, but you’re keeping the change
Yeah, you’re keeping the change!
(Verse 2)
Try to act natural, try to act fine
But I’m tripping on the words, yeah, I’m losing the line
You’re laughing at a joke that I didn’t even tell
I’m trapped in a heaven that feels like a hell
You’re the headline, I’m the fine print
Giving you a mountain, you don't even take a hint
I’m a satellite spinning in a dark room
Waiting for a light, but it’s always too soon!
(Bridge)
(Beat drops out for a second, then snaps back in)
Stop.
Did you see me? (No.)
Did you hear me? (No.)
I’m a blur in your vision, I’m a glitch in the show
I’m ready to fast-forward, you’re stuck in slow!
Go!
(Chorus)
‘Cause I’m running to you, but you’re walking away
Got a million things that I’m dying to say
But you’re deaf to the sound, you’re blind to the view
I’m obsessed with the thought, but I’m nothing to you!
Yeah, I’m chasing a spark in a pouring rain
It’s a beautiful mess, it’s a high-speed pain
I’m giving you my all, but you’re keeping the change!
(Outro)
(Fast fading beat)
Keeping the change...
Yeah, you’re keeping the change.
I’m still running.
Are you even looking?
(Beat stops abruptly)
Does that hit the fast-paced energy you were looking for?
