"Anchor" lyrics

"Anchor"

Tripped on a crack outside my flat
How could I miss that?
Let myself slip through time
Maybe if I didn't notice
All the signs
Well, I won't recognize

Me in my home
I'm a ghost in my room
I knew
That something was off
When I slipped on my shoes
I outgrew

Thought this street would recognize me
Maybe I'm just a stranger, stranger
I'm running but my life's rewinding
Somebody drop an anchor
A reason to hold me down
A reason to hold me down

(But everyone carries on)

I'll grab a drink and overthink
All of my questions
Pretend I'm way too high
Repeating phrases over
And over time
The script reads Irish goodbyes

It's just me in my home
I'm a ghost in my room
I knew
That something was off
When I slipped on my shoes
I outgrew

Thought this street would recognize me
Maybe I'm just a stranger, stranger
I'm running but my life's rewinding
Somebody drop an anchor
A reason to hold me down
A reason to hold me down

(Everyone carries on)
