lyrics

Are you strapped in
Cause I'm about to tell you the worst thing
Are you ready, set, go
But my heart breaks
And your mind aches
So what's the point anyway

Take me back
So I can swallow my words
So I don't have to rehearse this damn let down
Take me back
To the car crash
So I can watch it go in slow motion
Think it through
Before I swerve right through
The house we built together

Are you strapped in
Cause I'm a monster
And you're gonna wanna run
Do you see my teeth grow sharp
My eyes turn black
And my smile turns dark
Oh, how do you see me

Why can't you take me back
So I can swallow my words
So I don't have to rehearse this damn let down
Take me back
To the car crash
So I can watch it go in slow motion
Think it through
Before I swerve right over you
Before I turn myself to ruins

If I just paid more attention we'd be good
One little slip can turn the world so cold
If I'd watched myself carefully, there'd be nothing to make me worry
Oh, pull me out of the crash

Why can't you take me back
To the car crash
And I can change it all before it goes too far
And you're gone
I'm letting go this time
Let me fall right through the floor
And make it stop
