my mind is floating on the ceiling
and I, I am feeling everything
feels like I’m stuck inside an echo chamber
where nothing ever happens
but I just wanna hear you laughing
‘cause I want easy and I want gentle
but I need structure and I need careful
this is madness, but I want it to feel like magic
and I could run away from it
or I could run into it just to see how far I get
and I don’t even know what angle you’re playing at
sometimes I think you just wanna see me sweat
but let the games begin, let’s see how far I’ll let you get
you told me once that you feel like an island
that these days, you stay silent
that you’re tired of pouring your heart out
but I can see all of the landmines that surround us
and the way that you’re sidestepping
all of the heaven, all the second guessing
and I’m so starving and you’re so cryptic
we’re trading trauma, it’s almost addictive
tell me what goes on in that room where no one lives
and I could run away from it
or I could run into it just to see how far I get
and I don’t even know what angle you’re playing at
sometimes I think you just wanna see me sweat
but let the games begin, let’s see how far I’ll let you get
I keep thinking about the backseat of that car
and the way that you talked about rollercoasters
and leaned closer
and you said, you were sure, you’d rather dangle than be secure
and it felt like we were talking about something more
I’m just trying to get you next to me
but tonight already feels like a memory
and I could run away from it
or I could run into it just to see how far I get
and I don’t even know what angle you’re playing at
sometimes I think you just wanna see me sweat
but let the games begin, let’s see how far I’ll let you get
