Insane
Mr 17.5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I don't really know what that means
Maybe I'm just lonely
Or I'm impatient and I want it to end
I want the world to revolve around her
And make sure she feels happy with me
But that's not the way the world works
Nobody's happy at least that's what it seems
I wanna see what the hell she thinks
I wanna know what is wrong with me
But even if I don't seem insane
I sit alone and go crazy
I feel insane, maybe
I'll go insane if I stay here
I need you babe, maybe
I'll go insane if you tell me
I wanna feel what I did back then
When love was simple and I was a kid
Then I got older my days grew thin
Only a teen but I already feel dead
Don't know what is wrong or right
Don't know what is truly mine
What if this is all a dream
Maybe I'm just crazy
Don't know what is wrong or right
I feel insane inside
Don't know what is truly mine
What if this is all a dream
I never know what to think
Maybe I'm just crazy
Don't know what is wrong or right
I feel insane inside
Don't know what is truly mine
What if this is all a dream
I never know what to think
Maybe I'm just crazy
I feel insane, maybe
I'll go insane if I stay here
I need you babe, maybe
I'll go insane if you tell me
I feel insane, maybe
I'll go insane if I stay here
I need you babe, maybe
I'll go insane if you tell me
I feel insane, maybe
(Don't know what is wrong or right
I feel insane inside)
I'll go insane if I stay here
(Don't know what is truly mine)
I need you babe, maybe
(What if this is all a dream
I never know what to think
Maybe I'm just crazy)
We live in the future
Where the world isn't so black and white
We live in the present
We give each other the gift of life
We live in the world before any other
We live in the world before any other
