Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We've been here before, don't fear me
Don't stand by the door, come near me
We've been here before, don't fear me
Don't stand by the door, come near me
[Verse 2]
Quick thought, left or right
Could it be a strong case of flight or flight?
We'd never know you're slightly overworked and self-conscious
Sweating beads of doubt, this can't be right
Whispering out, "This can't be right, right?"
This ain't like a DVD
Pretty from aftershave
I'm scared life will leave me strung out and needing love
Surely I'm as overcome, but brimstone won't come to lungs
[Verse 3]
But I ain't done
Surely I ain't done
Oh, nah, nah
I ain't done
Oh, but my mind is on the run
Caused by your never-ending dream
And it ain't what it seems
It ain't what it seems
Y'know mean?
[Verse 4]
We've been here before, don't fear me
Don't stand by the door, come near me
We've been here before, don't fear me
Don't stand by the door, come near me
[Verse 5]
Monster on the bed
Regurgitating out
Mad, this monkey on my back
Pulling hair like puppet strings
Slow to react
Tell me what's the matter, love?
Life's drive slow-mo
Front crawl in speedos
Fight against the rising tide
Breathe deep
Never stop clawing at the light
Clinging onto what we got
[Verse 6]
But I ain't done
I ain't done
Surely, surely, surely
Must overcome
But my mind's on the run
My mind's on the run
Caused by your never-ending dream
Nah, and it ain't what it seems
It ain't what it seems
Baby girl, it ain't what it seems
Nah, it ain't what it seems
Too cruel to be mean
To be cruel
Don't wanna lose, ah
[Verse 7]
We've been here before, don't fear me
Don't stand by the door, come near me
We've been here before, don't fear me
Don't stand by the door, come near me
