Does my silence make you feel numb now?
Is it scaling down the pain you love to take?
Hey, we’re driving for some time, love,
But your hand stays on the wheel, I’m drifting away.
You think we’re scratching on the surface
Of something good enough for you but you couldn’t taste.
Then your idols will make you feel nauseous,
You’d need diamonds on your shoes to walk today.
Nothing’s wrong with me,
What’s the matter with you?
Is life not according to plan?
And I’m flicking distant thoughts,
Running along with you,
What’s the matter with you today?
There are trifles on the water,
And your voice sounds like reverb upon the sand.
I’m getting exhausted from soaking fine lines, now.
Trying to love myself when you are in your head.
Nothing’s wrong with me,
What’s the matter with you?
Is life not according to plan?
And I’m flicking distant thoughts,
Running along with you,
What’s the matter with you today?
