lyrics

I made it to a new city, giving my number to perfect strangers.
And they’re calling me back, calling me back.
I’m making it up to everyone,
I’ll be the oldest and latest version of myself all at once.
Just hold me back, hold me back.

Tell me if I repeat myself, tell me if I repeat myself
So I can draw a line with diamond razor blade.
Tell me if I repeat myself, tell me if I repeat myself,
cause I wouldn’t mind, hearing it over again.

Like living in a dream scene, at any second could all come tumbling,
But I’ll ride the crash, ride the crash.

Oh you never get a clean break, but I’ve been tending to every fault line,
And I’ll walk it back, walk it back.

Tell me if I repeat myself, tell me if I repeat myself,
So I can draw a line with diamond razor blade.
Tell me if I repeat myself, tell me if I repeat myself,

I still don’t know if you heard,
I still don’t know if you heard,
when I told you the silence was more than I could endure.

You didn’t say a word,
you didn’t say a word
it got quieter and quieter.

Tell me if I repeat myself, tell me if I repeat myself
So I can draw a line with diamond razor blade
Tell me if I repeat myself, tell me if I repeat myself,

I made it to a new city
