[VERSE 1] We wore each other thin, stretched until we fit. You finished every sentence, I learned to live with it. I bent a little further, you pulled a little more. We called it getting closer— I forgot what I was before. Then something changed. No warning. No sound. Your gravity let go… and I didn’t hit the ground. [PRE-CHORUS] Can you feel it?

You disappear and I reappear underneath. OH-OHHH— WHAT A RELIEF. Cut the connection, set me free. SEVER ME— SEVER ME SWEET. If losing us means finding me— THEN SEVER ME. SEVER ME. SEVER ME.
