[Verse 1] All these headlines Names in gold on the screen Every room full of handshakes But they don't touch me I get quiet in the corner Fade into the chair Then you laugh like you mean it And pull me out of there [Chorus] Important people aren't so important When I see you I know it's true All that noise just turns to humming When I'm sitting across from you The blue and the red They're wide in the air Every side trying to cut me in two But I stop collapsing Stop collapsing When the world goes small to you [Verse 2] I keep scrolling Every thought feels the same Argued out in a circle Till I'm dizzy with names I lose hours in the static Eyes burned Mind bruised Then your face lights up my phone screen And the room changes hue (oh) [Chorus] Important people aren't so important When I see you I know it's true All that noise just turns to humming When I'm sitting across from you The blue and the red They're wide in the air Every side trying to cut me in two But I stop collapsing Stop collapsing When the world goes small to you [Bridge] Let them talk in towers Let them paint the sky I'll be in this kitchen Watching your tea steam rise If the colors keep on fighting Till the sky bleeds through I'll be lost in every thought That brings me back to you (yeah) [Chorus] Important people aren't so important When I see you I know it's true All that noise just turns to humming When I'm sitting across from you The blue and the red They're wide in the air Every side trying to cut me in two But I stop collapsing Stop collapsing When the world goes small to you
