I know there's a voice that's

Buzzing in your head

I know there's a heartbeat

Tripping in your step, tripping in your step

Glad I got my eardrums

Hurting and I can, hurting and I can

See this working out

Exactly how I plan

Everything is moving fully like a mess

I know that my voice is buzzing in your head

Buzzing in your head

You know I want this, honey

And it is better than money

And when I'm feeling weak

Think back to times when we were young

When we were young

When we were young

When we were young

I can feel your hands, they're

Pulling at my dress

Living in a lie

Only memories are left

I know there's a heartbeat

Tripping in your step

I know there's a voice that's

Buzzing in your head, buzzing in your head

You know I want this, honey

And it is better than money

And when I'm feeling weak

Think back to times when we were young

When we were young

When we were young

When we were young

When we were young

When we were young

I know there's a voice that's

Buzzing in your head

When we were young

I know there's a heartbeat

Tripping in your step, tripping in your step

When we were young

Glad I got my eardrums

Hurting and I can

When we were young
