Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You say you can't stand being alone with your thoughts
But is it just me, or do you do that a lot?
You keep yourself busy by going on walks
Discover new ways you'll escape
As you start to feel safe
[Verse 2]
Can't stay in one spot, no dream destination
Is it self-sabotage or self-preservation?
Whatever it's called, I put your favourite things into your cage
To distract you from getting away
[Chorus]
Why stay worried for what you can't control?
Said you'd be nothing if not held responsible
[Verse 3]
If you're missing me more than I know
Then why won't you fill me in?
That wasn't a joke, but you can't take me serious
[Verse 4]
Well, I do it to cope
And I hate that you know
Does it make it less funny
When there are dark undertones?
It helps having you here, we're filling the air
Laughter is medicine when shit gets severe
[Verse 5]
You're the cure for Alzheimer's, that makes memories appear
You are carefully observed
[Chorus]
Why stay worried for what you can't control?
Said you'd be nothing if not held responsible
But you halt my whole world, spin it backwards
And stretch from pole to pole
Back to when natural disasters were still as natural
[Chorus]
But why stay worried for what you can't control?
Said you'd be nothing if not held responsible
But you halt my whole world, spin it backwards
And stretch from pole to pole
Back to when natural disasters were still as natural
