Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you ever try and face yourself goodnight?
Or is it easier with a friend?
Pretend your friends enough to end
You were just a loudmouth, cute-face girl
Could you press skin? Takin' over the world
You're not the only one in the world
[Verse 2]
You choose to see me
Even with all this glee
Are you okay?
What's in your way?
[Verse 3]
Are you sleepin' with the lights on, baby?
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
Keep your hood off when you're walkin', 'cause they
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
Tryin' not to be obsessed with your heyday
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
Sure enough, they're gonna take your body
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
[Verse 4]
Do you ever try and face yourself goodnight?
Or is it easier with a friend?
Pretend your friends enough to end
You were just a loudmouth, cute-face girl
Could you press skin? Takin' over the world
You're not the only one in the world
[Verse 5]
Are you sleepin' with the lights on, baby?
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
Keep your hood off when you're walkin', 'cause they
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
Tryin' not to be obsessed with your heyday
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
Sure enough, they're gonna take your body
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
[Verse 6]
Are you okay?
What's in your way?
Are you okay?
What's in your way?
[Verse 7]
Are you sleepin' with the lights on, baby?
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
Keep your hood off when you're walkin', 'cause they
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
Tryin' not to be obsessed with your heyday
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
Sure enough, they're gonna take your body
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
[Verse 8]
Are you sleepin' with the lights on, baby?
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
Keep your hood off when you're walkin', 'cause they
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
Tryin' not to be obsessed with your heyday
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
Sure enough, they're gonna take your body
(Hands up, get up)
(Hands up, get up)
