lyrics

I picked a bad year to fumble the beat
only 4 bars in
everybody here moves faster than me
and it hurts all the time

falling in love at the end of the world
I'm under pressure so I keep it to myself
the first moment that I knew I would die
up until then I lived a beautiful life

Waking up with more chips in my teeth
I clench my jaw till its ready to shatter
slowing down it too easy for me
I could change if I got enough sleep

I thought a whole week on how to respond
delay aside I get an A for effort
when I called it was already gone
it hurts all the time

I know we'll never have it
but I want it all to matter
