"Flatline" lyrics
Oh, the pressure's on
'Cause first, you gotta find someone and put your bills in front of them
You'll find a job for life
And you'll treat it like a second wife
Till you can't even sleep at night
No wonder I'm afraid
As a kid, I wished my years away
But now I'm grown, I feel betrayed
Oh, what would my younger self say to me?
Are we living how we could be?
Oh, tell me, why does love try and tear me apart?
Is it only me who feels stuck in the past?
Oh, why does life feel so goddamn hard?
'Cause all I want to be is
Drunk in love in the back of a car
Making life my drug, put the young in my heart
And wake me up, I've been coasting along the flatline
I'm already done
'Cause I'm 22 and had enough of being told to get back up
So I'll act tough
'Cause once-in-a-generation by the fourth time is too damn much
Time is slipping through my fingers and I can't pick it up
Caught it drifting through the difference
Am I living enough?
Oh, tell me, why does love try and tear me apart?
Is it only me who feels stuck in the past?
Oh, why does life feel so goddamn hard?
'Cause all I want to be is
Drunk in love in the back of a car
Making life my drug, put the young in my heart
And wake me up, I've been coasting along the flatline
How easy could it be to find the peace I used to know?
Does the happiness I have remain in my own soul?
You can take my heart and break it, well, I wouldn't even know
I wouldn't even know
I want to be drunk in love in the back of a car
Making life my drug, put the young in my heart
And wake me up, I've been coasting along the flatline
'Cause all I want to be is
Drunk in love in the back of a car
Making life my drug, put the young in my heart
And wake me up, I've been coasting along the flatline
Why is he overthinking to survive?
How am I too damn tired to close my eyes?
Oh, I just want to feel alive
Oh, I just want to feel alive
Alive, alive
'Cause first, you gotta find someone and put your bills in front of them
You'll find a job for life
And you'll treat it like a second wife
Till you can't even sleep at night
No wonder I'm afraid
As a kid, I wished my years away
But now I'm grown, I feel betrayed
Oh, what would my younger self say to me?
Are we living how we could be?
Oh, tell me, why does love try and tear me apart?
Is it only me who feels stuck in the past?
Oh, why does life feel so goddamn hard?
'Cause all I want to be is
Drunk in love in the back of a car
Making life my drug, put the young in my heart
And wake me up, I've been coasting along the flatline
I'm already done
'Cause I'm 22 and had enough of being told to get back up
So I'll act tough
'Cause once-in-a-generation by the fourth time is too damn much
Time is slipping through my fingers and I can't pick it up
Caught it drifting through the difference
Am I living enough?
Oh, tell me, why does love try and tear me apart?
Is it only me who feels stuck in the past?
Oh, why does life feel so goddamn hard?
'Cause all I want to be is
Drunk in love in the back of a car
Making life my drug, put the young in my heart
And wake me up, I've been coasting along the flatline
How easy could it be to find the peace I used to know?
Does the happiness I have remain in my own soul?
You can take my heart and break it, well, I wouldn't even know
I wouldn't even know
I want to be drunk in love in the back of a car
Making life my drug, put the young in my heart
And wake me up, I've been coasting along the flatline
'Cause all I want to be is
Drunk in love in the back of a car
Making life my drug, put the young in my heart
And wake me up, I've been coasting along the flatline
Why is he overthinking to survive?
How am I too damn tired to close my eyes?
Oh, I just want to feel alive
Oh, I just want to feel alive
Alive, alive
