lyrics

Anywhere but here, any time but now
Stuck behind the wheel suffocating
And there’s no one close to help me now

Sometimes it’s hard to keep my story straight
Can’t hold back this fear
Or try to hide behind a crooked smile
It’s no good to try
To convince me to drop this disguise
Tell me why did it wait so long
To finally creep up on me
I try to keep things to myself
But half-buried so you can see
That I wear all this stress like a scar

The conversations left unsaid
Keep us both from healing

I’ve been lying all this time
And honestly, I’ve learned to live the lie
Anywhere but here, any time but now
Stuck behind the wheel suffocating
And there’s no one close to help me now

Hopelessly struggle to breathe
This isn’t the time or place
To start melting down
So just play it cool
There’s nothing that you
Or anyone else can do
But just hold me
(You know I’m here when you need me)
Don’t wanna be lonely
(Focus and try to breathe slowly)
Try to console me
(I know when things start to feel bleak)
Just ‘til I’m okay

This routine won’t last forever
All I needed was a friend
And if we go through this together
It keeps us both from healing

Call off the search, let it pass
Can’t calm down and can’t relax
Step back and watch me collapse
Don’t act like you understand
