Pressure
@The1975 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I left an un-rewarding message telling you to come on
Over dramatic, automatically assume I'll stay the same
There's a change in pressure
We're never gonna lie to you
(Change in pressure)
My broken veins say that if my heart stops beating
"We'll bleed the same way"
(Change in pressure)
Oh, my broken veins say
Well I stay tuned, listen to the news and try to fall asleep at night
Because I'm living in a house with just three walls
So I'm always getting recognized
There's a change in pressure
We're never gonna lie to you
(Change in pressure)
My broken veins say that if my heart stops beating
(Change in pressure)
"We'll bleed the same way"
(Change in pressure)
Oh, my broken veins say
(Change in pressure)
There's a change in pressure
We're never gonna lie to you
(Change in pressure)
My broken veins say that if my heart stops beating
(Change in pressure)
"We'll bleed the same way"
(Change in pressure)
