I go in my head Hanging by a thread Drifting through her hair Oh one day you will find.
That it's time to get your hopes up.
They try to kick me but I won't budge.
Whoa oh oh.
But there's nowhere left to hide long.
A masquerade with the lights on .

I'm a lot like you
I share a lot of similarities with you
Pictures in my room
I have pictures in my room
People I once knew
I knew people in the past
And hearts I can't untangle from my own.
I have emotions that are intertwined with my own
I go in my head
I retreat into my thoughts
Hanging by a thread
I'm barely holding on
Drifting through her hair
I'm lost in her hair
Oh one day you will find.
Someday you'll realize
That it's time to get your hopes up.
You should start feeling optimistic
They try to kick me but I won't budge.
I refuse to be pushed around
Whoa oh oh.

Plannin out my move

Alone but in the company of friends
I'm by myself but still feel supported
And I had a dream
I had a dream
That wasn't just a dream
It was more than just a dream
