[Verse] Snakes used to spike me from the first one that I saw My mates all cracked up, didn’t clock that I was in shock So I took a deep breath, jumped right in, grabbed it with both hands And now I can’t meet a snake straight in the eyes again [Chorus] You had to be there You had to catch it But I swear that it happened And I promise it’s the truth I used to not care I used to be chill Now it’s like a bassline blast-off in my chest Now I’m frozen every time I think of losing you [Verse 2] They say “Don’t look ’em in the eyes or you’ll be paralysed” My mates all cracked up, didn’t clock that I was in shock It’s so hypnotic, the way that your tongue rolls So slick and sly, and I knew that you were gone [Chorus] You had to be there You had to catch it But I swear that it happened And I promise it’s the truth I used to not care I used to be chill Now it’s like a bassline blast-off in my chest Now I’m frozen every time I think of losing you [Bridge] And they always get away They slip, they skitter But I can still hear you So I head down to the lake And I scream till it breaks My voice in two I call your name into the dark And it bounces back, it comes back wrong [Final Chorus] You had to be there You had to catch it But I swear that it happened And I promise it’s the truth I used to not care I used to be chill Now it’s like a bassline blast-off in my chest Now I’m frozen every time I think of losing you
