Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've hated everyone I've ever thought I'd ever been
Got lost in self reflection, sure, I often got it wrong
Though lately, I'm afraid the damage done has oddly made me
Self aware and fucked up from this trip I've been on, and
[PreChorus]
Every time I talk, it's the talking that drives you mad
Every time I stop, it's the silence I can't withstand
[Chorus]
My head's a bit of a ghostland
I just don't want to be wrong again
I tend to circle and nosedive all the time
[Verse 2]
I used to sit around, dissect my thoughts until I'd drowned out
Every single sentence I could never say out loud
One day I hope to make it up to everyone I've punished
Droning on and on about whatever again
[PreChorus]
Every time I talk, it's the talking that drives you mad
Every time I stop, it's the silence I can't withstand
[Refrain]
I want to get next to you
But I never know what to say or do
With my eyes, and my hands, and my body
I just want to get next to you
[Verse 3]
I've hated everyone I've ever thought I'd ever been
One day, I hope to make it up to myself
[PreChorus]
Every time I talk, it's the talking that drives you mad
Every time I stop, it's the silence I can't withstand
[Chorus]
My head's a bit of a ghostland
I just don't want to be wrong again
I tend to circle and nosedive all the time
[Refrain]
I want to get next to you
But I never know what to say or do
With my eyes, and my hands, and my body
I just want to get next to you
[Bridge]
But every time I talk, it's the talking that drives you mad
Every time I stop, it's the silence I can't withstand
[Chorus]
My head's a bit of a ghostland
I just don't want to be wrong again
I tend to circle and nosedive all the time
[Outro]
I've hated everyone I ever thought I'd ever been
One day, I hope to make it up to myself
