NSB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴And I've been waiting all day
To see you pop up my phone
And I don't usually talk to god
But today is not normal
It's up to you
It's up to you
Tired of the choices
Want myself I swear I miss your voices
On my heart
I'm tired of these places
Don't like any these vices
I swear I could run away
I'm sitting on the side
I panic out my mind
I feel like I could die, I'd better run away
Throw my head against the pavement
Babe you feel amazing
Need someone here to save me
I'm going insane
Oooo-oooooo
I just tell myself I love you and stay
Oooo-oooo-ooo
No I love the thought of you in my head
I've been waiting all day to be alone in my bed
Now I compromise and now I'm sippin
(Ugh)
Now I'm too drunk
Thinking too much
Missing your love
But I choose myself
I'm tired of the choices
Want myself
I swear I miss your voices (swear I miss your love)
On my heart
I'm tired of these places
Don't like any these vices
I swear I could run away
I'm sitting on the side
I panic out my mind
I feel like I could die, I'd better run away
Throw my head against the pavement
(Babe you feel amazing)
Need someone here to save me
I'm going insane
Oooo-oooooo
I just tell myself I love you and stay (yea)
Oooo-oooo-ooo
No I love the thought of you in my head
I'm missing you like crazy
Tryna get you outta my head
Couldn't go back to chasin
And now you're lying in someone's bed
Fuck you, I'm moving on
Gotta stay strong
Oh oh oh
Fuck you
Did me so wrong
Gotta stay strong
Oh oh oh
Ooooo-oooo
I panic panic
Oh oh oh
Ooooo-ooo
I panic panic
Oh oh oh
