lyrics

Here it comes
Creeping in like morning light
Threatening to stay
I should check my phone for the time

She comes calling
Looking for the good fight
Words get stuck deep in my chest
Call off the dogs I’ll confess any crime

Don’t ask me to cry
I only know how to run
I don’t know how to feel
Anything for anyone
But I wish I could tell you
'Cuz I want it so bad
That’s gotta mean something
That’s gotta mean something

She keeps asking
Exactly where have I gone
How to explain that
I’m not really anywhere at all

Stuck inside this moment
Time is standing still
That feeling of weightlessness that you get
Right before you fall

Don’t ask me to cry
I only know how to run
I don’t know how to feel
Anything for anyone
But I wish I could tell you
'Cuz I want it so bad
That’s gotta mean something
That’s gotta mean something

Stand up tall don’t look afraid
Don’t let them see it get to you
Put your fists up back away
That is what a man one day
Roll those sleeves up lose the rings
Don’t you cry now when you fall
Grown men don’t say a thing
Just stare holes into the walls
Just stare holes into the walls
Stare holes into the walls

Don’t ask me to cry
I only know how to run
I don’t know how to feel
Anything for anyone
But I wish I could tell you
'Cuz I want it so bad
That’s gotta mean something
That’s gotta mean something
