Obsession
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Move at the speed of sound
You can't go back again
So buy another round
You're gonna miss that final train
When lightning strikes
Who wants to stay inside
Promises you made you know
That they're all gonna break
Your family will never understand
They only care about
You got a safe place you can land
You're sick of being nice
It's not a sacrifice
To run away decide
You want to live that artist life
The way you glow
Will fade I know
I'm better off without
You won't get bored with me
I won't get bored with you
If you get bored with me then
I'll be boring too
Don't want to patronize
Don't want to cheat myself
Don't want to win if it means
I'm hurting someone else
I'm waiting for the answer to
Still I don't know when you lie
I'm hanging on
I'm staying true
Cause all I'm feeling is you
Obsession
Obsession
Don't ever leave me now
Obsession
Obsession
Obsession
Obsession
