Main Lyrics
Are you magnetic?
Do you land in the right place

Complete Lyrics
on the phone I can't say anything in case I say the
wrong thing,
and you smile like you like this but maybe it's not
working,
I'm a stone under a mountain and I wish that you'd stop
thinking,
and you lie under the mountain cause you know you can't
do anything.

And you check your phone 'cause you're looking for an
escape,
sometimes when we fall we just land in the right place,
'cause we're magnetic and we land in the right place,
are you magnetic do you land in the right place?

It tasted bad I wore a mouth guard the blood was
overwhelming,
head over heel a mild concussion do you remember was I
talking,
you've been had and in attack you said maybe we're
exhausting,
it's not real but in attack I know just what you're
saying.

And you check your phone 'cause you're looking for an
escape,

sometimes when we fall we just land in the right place,
'cause we're magnetic and we land in the right place,
are you magnetic? do you land in the right place?

It's not real It's not real It's not real,
oh no it's not real it's not real it's not real,
go.

Do you collapse?
We collapse,
Do we collapse?
Can we do it again?

In this verse I found a credit card with six hundred
dollars on it,
in the next I hired a car and drove away,
if your world just tipped and spun around,
and flipped and flung us from it,
I think we'd land in exactly the same way.

You check your phone cause you're looking for an
escape,
sometimes when we fall we just land in the right place,
'cause we're magnetic and we land in the right place,
are you magnetic do you land in the right place?

it's not real it's not real it's not real,
oh no it's not real it's not real it's not real,




oh no it's not real it's not real it's not real,
oh no it's not real it's not real it's not real.
