[Verse 1] I pull one earbud from my ear 'Cause I swear somebody called my name Nothing there but empty streets Still I stop and look again Laptop camera covered up Tiny piece of tape holds tight Chewing gum inside the keyhole Maybe then I'll sleep tonight Wave a police cruiser down "I think somebody's following me..." They scan the sidewalk, nod politely I still feel them watching me --- [Pre-Chorus] Then it hits without a warning Rain keeps falling, I collapse Beneath a towering hedge, shaking Breathing turns into a battle My mind is scattered, I know This becomes a pattern slow --- [Chorus] Breathe... just breathe... It'll pass... it'll pass... "I'm fine, I swear... I don't need help. I'm okay... just please, please leave me alone!" Then the shaking starts to fade... God, what a sweet relief! I get up on unsteady legs. ...Wait... " Were those people really there?" --- [Verse 2] Loud music fills the room Still it never drowns my thoughts Turn it higher... higher... higher... They're still louder than it all When it's quiet.. it's never quiet –Nah.. Behind me I hear a move Someone's knocking at the front door? –Nah.. I hear footsteps on the roof... Hallway floorboards creaking... ...Wait. There aren't any floorboards. Television knows too much Listenes everything I say The news anchor smiles at me Like he knew I'm back off trail Every headline sounds directed Every pause repeats my name --- [Breakdown] Maybe it's the lack of sleep... Maybe I'm just tired again... Maybe my mind's playing tricks Smallest sound feels like siren Second stretches into six.. (six).. (six)... --- [Pre-Chorus] Then it hits without a warning Rain keeps falling, I collapse Beneath a towering hedge, shaking Breathing turns into a battle My mind is scattered, I know This becomes a pattern slow --- [Chorus] Breathe... just breathe... It'll pass... it'll pass... "I'm fine, I swear... I don't need help. I'm okay... just please, please leave me alone!" Then the shaking starts to fade... God, what a sweet relief! I get up on unsteady legs. ...Wait... " Were those people really there?" [Outro] Uh-oh, uh-oh, the sirens again run! [End]
