[Verse 1]
Phone says 4 a.m
Last text just says “where are you?”
Timeline full of strangers’ faces
All tagged like they know me too
Stains on my white shirt
Smell of something sweet and strong
Half a joke stuck in my throat
Guess I took it one sip too far (again)
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember your hand
On my shoulder like a warning
Then the floor
Then the door
Then it all turns gray
Every time that I swear
I’ll be better by the morning
I just blur you out
Till you fade away
[Chorus]
I keep chasing the blackout
Till the night cuts out
Till the lights all drown
I don’t wanna feel this
Don’t wanna calm down
So I chase
Chase
Chase the blackout (oh)
Tell me what did I say?
Burned your name in a bar I don’t know
Every time I drink you
I let myself go
And I chase
Chase
Chase the blackout
[Verse 2]
Bank card on the counter
Uber charges in a row
Lipstick on a paper cup
But I walked home alone
Mirror guy looks guilty
Bloodshot and twenty-something scared
Scratches on my knuckles
Like I picked a fight with air (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember us laughing
On the edge of something fragile
Then the spin
Then the slip
Then I lose that frame
Every promise I make
Just dissolves in every travel
Till it’s you
Then it’s me
Then it’s just my name
[Chorus]
I keep chasing the blackout
Till the night cuts out
Till the lights all drown
I don’t wanna feel this
Don’t wanna calm down
So I chase
Chase
Chase the blackout (oh)
Tell me what did I say?
Burned your name in a bar I don’t know
Every time I drink you
I let myself go
And I chase
Chase
Chase the blackout
[Bridge]
What if I stopped right here?
Let the memories hurt
Let ’em all run clear
Would you still be gone
Or would you still be near? (yeah)
I’m so tired of the fight
With the part of me that only lives at night
[Chorus]
But I keep chasing the blackout
Till the night cuts out
Till the lights all drown
I don’t wanna feel this
Don’t wanna calm down
So I chase
Chase
Chase the blackout (oh)
Tell me what did I say?
Burned your name in a bar I don’t know
Every time I drink you
I let myself go
And I chase
Chase
Chase the blackout
[Outro]
Phone says 4 p.m
Sunlight spilling on my bed
Only thing that I remember
Is the echo in my head
(Chasing the blackout)
