lyrics
It hit me like the front of a bus
In the car outside before I walk inside, I never liked to dance alone
Because the jealousy comes knocking when i’ve got no hand to hold
So I'll turn on the car and go
Then I'll get a call on the phone
Saying “Where you at? Are you coming back? You know I thought we’d have some fun
This is the seventh time you promised and then ditched us in a month”
The disappointment starts to show
Like a shock to the heart, wake up, feel the current
Flowing through your veins, rising to the surface
The world’s on fire only if you burn it
You can make the change, you can change the course
Hang on, hold tight, I'll be there in a minute
Just keep talking, stay on the line
I'm there for you, I'm on your side
Wait up, slow down, just tell me straight I won’t debate
I'm here to hear you out
I'll be the gravity when you need ground
Like a shock to the heart, wake up, feel the current
Flowing through your veins, rising to the surface
The world’s on fire only if you burn it
You can make the change, you can change the course
If I traveled back in time and if I played the game again
Would my hindsight show me shortcuts or would the cheating do me in?
Because I would not be the person who is singing this today
Life is like an addition problem, summing moves you make
But subtraction sounds so tempting when life’s feeling like a loss
I could take away the complications and return what I have bought
So I'll change the things I loathe about myself, I'll change today
Because I don’t want to be alive if it means I stay the same
Like a shock to the heart, wake up, feel the current
Flowing through your veins, rising to the surface
The world’s on fire only if you burn it
You can make the change, you can change the course
In the car outside before I walk inside, I never liked to dance alone
Because the jealousy comes knocking when i’ve got no hand to hold
So I'll turn on the car and go
Then I'll get a call on the phone
Saying “Where you at? Are you coming back? You know I thought we’d have some fun
This is the seventh time you promised and then ditched us in a month”
The disappointment starts to show
Like a shock to the heart, wake up, feel the current
Flowing through your veins, rising to the surface
The world’s on fire only if you burn it
You can make the change, you can change the course
Hang on, hold tight, I'll be there in a minute
Just keep talking, stay on the line
I'm there for you, I'm on your side
Wait up, slow down, just tell me straight I won’t debate
I'm here to hear you out
I'll be the gravity when you need ground
Like a shock to the heart, wake up, feel the current
Flowing through your veins, rising to the surface
The world’s on fire only if you burn it
You can make the change, you can change the course
If I traveled back in time and if I played the game again
Would my hindsight show me shortcuts or would the cheating do me in?
Because I would not be the person who is singing this today
Life is like an addition problem, summing moves you make
But subtraction sounds so tempting when life’s feeling like a loss
I could take away the complications and return what I have bought
So I'll change the things I loathe about myself, I'll change today
Because I don’t want to be alive if it means I stay the same
Like a shock to the heart, wake up, feel the current
Flowing through your veins, rising to the surface
The world’s on fire only if you burn it
You can make the change, you can change the course

Tasty fuzzy indie jams to get your mouth watering and your head bobbing, so crack open a glowstick and chug the whole thing because tide pods arent cool anymore. - Shogun Law
