lyrics

Checking the phone of the one you hold dear
Checking yourself as you stare in the mirror
Do you wanna go wanna get out of here

I’m waving a flag in an eggshell white
Painting my face making sure it looks right
Holding the key and I’m holding it tight

Sink while swimming keep your head up high
Sometimes winning never holding tight
You and I
You and I

Hanging on a line
It’s got you too
Saying it’s fine
When it’s not up to you
And in due time
We’ll see this through
And follow all the
Maps we drew
In my life
I wanna be
Good for you baby
And you for me
But only time
Will make it clear
Give me some water
Let’s get out of here

I’m playing games like I’ve been for a while
You’re dropping names but that suits your style
Holding me close taking inches for miles
Calling your name in a major key
Floating above never moving our feet
Am I seeing you the same way you see me

Both our names light up in neon
Find something we can agree on
You and I
You and I

Hanging on a line
It’s got you too
Saying it’s fine
When it’s not up to you
And in due time
We’ll see this through
And follow all the
Maps we drew
In my life
I wanna be
Good for you baby
And you for me
But only time
Will make it clear
Give me some water
Let’s get out of here

Sink while swimming keep your head up high
Sometimes winning never holding tight
You and I
You and I

Hanging on a line
It’s got you too
Saying it’s fine
When it’s not up to you
And in due time
We’ll see this through
And follow all the
Maps we drew
In my life
I wanna be
Good for you baby
And you for me
But only time
Will make it clear
Give me some water
Let’s get out of here
