7 Minutes in Heaven
● Fall Out Boy Lyrics

I'm sleeping my way out of this one
I'm trying to avoid my problems by distracting myself with meaningless sexual encounters.

With anyone who will lie down
I'm not picky about my partners, as long as I can escape from my troubles for a little while.

I'll be stuck fixated on one star
In the midst of chaos and turmoil, I latch onto one thing that brings me comfort and stability.

When the world is crashing down
Even when everything seems to be falling apart, I hold onto that one source of hope.

The only thing worse than not knowing
I fear ignorance more than anything, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

Is you thinking that I don't know
But even worse than that is the fear of someone else underestimating my understanding of a situation.

I'm having another episode
I'm struggling with my mental health and experiencing a relapse or setback.

I just need a stronger dose
I'm searching for a solution or coping mechanism that will help me get through this tough time.

Sitting out dances on the wall
I'm emotionally disconnected from those around me, and choosing to isolate myself instead.

Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I can't seem to shake my obsession with someone, and I'm actively trying to distract myself by any means necessary.

I'm not going home alone
I need someone to share my pain with, even if it means settling for a shallow connection.

'Cause I don't do too well on my own
I struggle with being alone, and need the comfort of others to help me feel secure.

I keep telling myself I'm not the desperate type
I don't want to think of myself as weak, but I'm desperately seeking a way to cope with my problems.

But you've got me looking in through blinds
I'm spying on my love interest and obsessing over their every move, even though they haven't reciprocated my feelings.

I keep telling myself I'm not the desperate type
Despite my actions, I want to believe that I am strong and capable of handling my problems on my own.

Sitting out dances on the wall
Even in social situations, I struggle to connect with others and find myself feeling isolated.

Trying to forget everything that isn't you
All of my efforts to escape reality revolve around one person who has captured my heart.

I'm not going home alone
I'm seeking connection and intimacy, no matter how shallow or fleeting it may be.

'Cause I don't do too well on my own
I know that I struggle with being alone, and will do anything to avoid feeling that way.

I keep telling myself I'm not the desperate type
I keep repeating this mantra to myself in order to convince myself that I am not as needy and vulnerable as I seem.

But you've got me looking in through blinds
But my actions betray me, as I continue to obsess over and stalk the person who has captured my heart.

I keep telling myself I'm not the desperate type
Despite my obsession and vulnerability, I still cling to the idea that I am strong and in control.
