The guardrail is tempting me
Standing like a sentry to the left of me
Its guarding adventure that certain to be life threatening

Life threatening

I need a tragedy to wake me

from perpetual dreaming
the proverbial "pinch me"
I'm so sick ... of sleeping

I'm so sick of sleeeeeeeeping

And you wonder why my eyes don't leave my phone

(oh whoa oh oh oh)
It's no wonder that you feel like you're alone (alone)
I think I need a new story

One where I take on the world
The one I'm living is boring
It's killing you and me both


The car crash in front of me
Pulls me back from deep and desperate fantasy

Snaps me wide awake to see the horrible scene
What's Happening
What's ... Happening?


Is this the tragedy I asked for?
Is this blood on my hands a consequence of my own war?

I'm so sick ... of sleeping
I'm so sick ... of needing more


And you wonder why my eyes don't leave my phone
(oh whoa oh oh oh)
It's no wonder that you feel like you're alone (alone)

I think I need a new story
One where I take on the world
The one I'm living is boring

It's killing you and me both

And you watch every time

As I give myself to death and neglect life
And I blindly desert the plot line you deserve


And you wonder why my eyes don't leave my phone
(oh whoa oh oh oh)
It's no wonder that you feel like you're alone (alone)

I think I need a new story
One where I take on the world
The one I'm living is boring

It's killing you and me both
It's killing you and me both
IT'S KILLING YOU AND ME BOTH!
