lyrics

there's a darkness that never stops
it just plays out and rewinds
I get lost in all the what ifs
I mean my god we almost died
with a lantern and a treasure map
to the back of my mind
where I only see you, sometimes

on the fence and I'm going to fall
on one side or the other
I don't know who you're trying to be
but I do not need another
who's quick to wrap their arms around me
just like everybody else
please don't be like everybody else

please don't be like everybody
please don't be like everybody else
