Unfinished (histrionic - the fear of steadiness)

[Verse 1] Oh no, I feel it creeping in, The walls too close, the air too thin! Routine’s a prison, I can’t stay, Gotta chase that spark before it fades away! [Pre-Chorus] Ooooh, I get restless (Oh, I get restless!) Ooooh, I leave messes! (I leave messes!) Half-written letters, half-packed bags, Love you today, but don’t unpack! [Chorus] I can’t be still, I can’t be quiet, Gimme a rush or I might start a riot! New faces, new places, new highs to chase, I start everything but I leave no trace! Ohhh, I can’t be still, I can’t be calm, If things feel steady, something is wrong! I crash, I burn, I spin, I fly, And I never say hello without a goodbye! [Verse 2] I paint a picture, then walk away, Write the first page, but forget the play. Oh babe, I meant it, every word, But long before the ending, my heart gets blurred! [Pre-Chorus] Ooooh, keep it moving (Oh, keep it moving!) Ooooh, no undoing! (No undoing!) If I slow down, I might disappear, So let’s make noise, make sparks, make fear! [Chorus] I can’t be still, I can’t be quiet, Gimme a thrill or I’ll just deny it! Too much routine makes my heart feel tight, So let’s make love, then say goodbye! Ohhh, I can’t be still, I can’t be calm, If life gets normal, something is wrong! I dance, I cry, I scream, I run, I leave before it’s all said and done! [Bridge] Tell me I’m crazy, tell me I’m free, Tell me you’ll chase the unknown with me! No roots, no rules, no plans, no past, Only the moment, make it last! [Breakdown—whispering, heavy breathing, then BOOM! Drop back into the chorus!] [Final Chorus] I can’t be still, I can’t be quiet, Tie me down and I’ll start a riot! Love me fast, leave me bright, Then let me run into the night! Ohhh, I can’t be still, I can’t be calm, If things feel stable, something is wrong! I crash, I burn, I spin, I fly, And I never, ever, ever say goodbye! [Fades out with chaotic laughter, footsteps running away, and a phone ringing unanswered]
