Now, days, they've been better, I sleep even deader
I wake up when everyone's gone
Just give us a touch, and let me down slow
Just let me know
If this is some kind of life
Or something else
Die just a little, we try just a little
Let's meet in the middle and wait
Or maybe you won't, I'm boring you don't
You're sad and magical, he says you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful too
Get up, get out, and be social
We can't pretend we won't go
Come down, give up cause it's alright
Yeah
You rise in your heart when you're breathing
'Cause you always look mad when you're dreaming
Come down, give up 'cause it's alright
Yeah
Now life's on a little loose notch
It's been a bit of a stretch
So I think I might go
Just breathe in and blow
It's awful, you know
Just hang around
She makes a bigger sound
Some lipstick lines on the shade
Take justo a little mistake, all the capsules you take
When we dream we all shake
I think he's in love with what you're thinking of
It's liveable, grey hairs are visible, I'm kind of miserable too
Get up, get out, and be social
We can't pretend we won't go
Come down, give up cause it's alright
Yeah
You rise in your heart when you're breathing
'Cause you always look mad when you're dreaming
Come down, give up 'cause it's alright
Yeah
Let's give you everything
Let's find another ride home
Just give me anything
To sleep or to go
If you're down, let me know
Make it up
As we go down
Get up, get out, and be social
We can't pretend we won't go
Come down, give up cause it's alright
Yeah
You rise in your heart when you're breathing
'Cause you always look mad when you're dreaming
Come down, give up 'cause it's alright
Yeah, in your heart
