[Verse 1]
Leaned back in this plastic chair
Watching flicker on the wall
Old home movies in my head
But I don't remember them at all
Frozen in a hospital gown
Birthday cake
Twenty-three
Everyone is saying my name
It's like they’re talking over me
[Pre-Chorus]
I see my hands
But I feel nothing in them
Mouth moves slow
Like I'm reading lines again
[Chorus]
It's like I'm watching my life from the outside
Face in the glass
But I can't get in
Hear my own laughter
See my own smile
But I don't feel anything
It's like I'm watching my life from the outside
Crowded room
But I'm not there with them
Rewind
Fast-forward
I keep on sliding
Past the part where I fit in
[Verse 2]
Dinner plates and dead blue screens
Half the night just disappearing
Scrolling past the best years yet
Like somebody else's clearing
I see a boy on a rusted swing
Kicking clouds
Skin on fire
Somewhere I misplaced that heat
Under layers of quiet wires
[Pre-Chorus]
Call my phone
Just to hear a voice ring
Hear that tone
Wonder who is answering
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
If I touch the frame
Will it shatter? (tell me)
If I step through
Do I stay the same?
If I scream my name in the theater
Will the reel burn up
Will it change?
[crescendo]
Pull me back into the scene
Let the sound rush in again
I don't want to be the ghost
Drifting past my own skin
[Chorus]
