I've been outta sight
I've been worried 'bout you lately
Runnin' outta time
Wishin' you would come and save me
'Cause I don't wanna roll with it (yeah, yeah)
Tryna get control of it (yeah, yeah)
Why can't I let go of it? (Yeah, yeah, mmm)
Gotta find somebody quickly (mmm, yeah)
I got a bad idea
How 'bout we take a little bit of time away?
I got a bad idea
Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah
Forget about me (Ari-chan)

Yeah, I'ma call you over here to numb the pain (Ari-chan)

Yeah, I know we shouldn't, baby but, we will (you know we will)
Need somebody, gimme something I can feel (yeah)
