Take your eyes off the pavement
We have rules for the way that we live
It's an ordered arrangement
Find your space in the urban grid
And we're standing shoulder to shoulder
Lapping up the apathy
Wondering how it got so near
Keep relaying over and over
Weed out what we can't hear
He said, she said
No one is in charge of us
Maybe in the end we all
Pay to play here
We keep thinking
Finding ways to sink again
And holding it all back out of fear
They say we can play
Anything we want today
So long as our heads
Tell our hearts to obey
And still you're sinking
You chase it with a drink again
And holding it, holding it
Holding it all back out of fear
Holding it all back out of fear
You just need to be perfect
With some friends to tell you you are good
In the end it is worth it
Never look like you misunderstood
Bend your knees and jump a little higher
Racking up your throwaways, jack up behind a glare
When they see you, you are on fire
A heat that they can't compare
You're the reason they're getting harder
Masking who you have to be, crash
So they know you're alive
When they see you, you are on fire
A heat you need to survive
He said, she said
No one is in charge of us
Maybe in the end we all
Pay to play here
We keep thinking
Finding ways to sink again
And holding it all back out of fear
They say we can play
Anything we want today
So long as our heads
Tell our hearts to obey
And still you're sinking
You chase it with a drink again
And holding it, holding it
Holding it all back out of fear
Holding it all back out of fear
Holding it all back out of fear
Holding it all back out of fear
Bend your knees and jump a little higher
When they see you, you are on fire
Bend your knees and jump a little higher
When they see you, you are on fire
