Intro

    

Verse 1

It's easier to spin in circles when you're four years old
When falling's not a problem 'cause you're not the one scrubbing the grass stains out of your clothes
It's harder when the world spins circles while you're standing still
Twenty-two, crying on the bathroom floor, dizzy against my will

Chorus

If I don't leave home, I'm scared I'll die here
But the great wide nowhere is just as terrifying 
And I could suffocate somewhere I know or somewhere I've never been
I'm just as scared of living as I am of dying

Bridge

And, God, please make me feel better, 'cause I don't feel so well 
I swear it didn't used to be this hard

Verse 2

But my mama's gonna die and my daddy's gonna die
And the world's gonna catch fire
And I'll just be here watching it go
Sooner or later, it all goes

Verse 3

Should I be terrified or replace my heart with ice?
It won't matter either way
'Cause I'll still be caught watching it go
Just, can I please go with you?
I just wanna go with you
