V5.5

[Verse 1] People say I talk too fast, my words all overlap I’m just trying to chase a thought before I lose the map I jump in the middle of your sentence, I’m not trying to be rude I’m just craving that connection buzzing bright inside my mood [Pre-Chorus] I see lines between the lines, pictures in the air Webbed sand networks in my mind firing everywhere I don’t get why you get quiet, why your smile goes flat I was only chasing sparks and rushes, what’s wrong with that? [Chorus] I cut you off ‘cause my brain runs ahead Then you look hurt and it fills me with dread I didn’t mean to be mean, just need that hit of dopamine My heart is racing, tangled in between You’re mad at me, I don’t know what to say I’ll understand it all a minute too late By the time I catch up to what you meant You’re already gone and my thoughts still sprint [Verse 2] You’re talking in a straight line, I’m spinning in a spiral A million colored highways in my head, they’re going viral I’m stacking all your sentences like puzzle-piece ideas Then I drop mine in the middle just to chase the thrill I feel here [Pre-Chorus] I see lines between the lines, pictures in the air Webbed sand networks in my mind firing everywhere Didn’t know I pressed a button, didn’t mean that cut I was only surfing on the rush before it shuts [Chorus] I cut you off ‘cause my brain runs ahead Then you look hurt and it fills me with dread I didn’t mean to be mean, just need that hit of dopamine My heart is racing, tangled in between You’re mad at me, I don’t know what to say I’ll understand it all a minute too late By the time I catch up to what you meant You’re already gone and my thoughts still sprint [Bridge] Then I’m hyper focused, locked into the zone Four hours disappear while I stare at my phone Or I’m building something perfect, every pixel right You call my name ten times, I don’t hear you in the light I feel too much, think too loud I’m too quiet in the wrong crowd I don’t mean to steal the air I just want you in the moment there [Chorus] I cut you off ‘cause my brain runs ahead Then you look hurt and it fills me with dread I didn’t mean to be mean, just need that hit of dopamine My heart is racing, tangled in between You’re mad at me, I don’t know what to say I’ll understand it all a minute too late By the time I catch up to what you meant You’re already gone and my thoughts still sprint [Outro] So if I rush in when you start to speak Know I’m only chasing sparks inside the streak I’m learning how to slow this storm inside But my racing mind still wants that bright high ride
