Twenty One Pilots - Friend Please

The two most important days
I've seen them alive
Would have hoped to arrive
At an earlier time, yeah
You see, life works in mysterious ways
And while I'm hating this place
I know it's just another phase, I promise
I've been working on this dream between a life and a routine
I've been trying to keep it down, staying low and living lean
I've been grateful for the little things, to a certain degree
But now I falter, I'm shaking
And I can't stop overthinking

Feel a little thinned out, yeah
Got a whole world to turn around
Have a bit of self-doubt, yeah
Got me feeling drained and worn out
And my mind is going ba-ba, ba-da-ba, ba-da
So you hear me singing ba-ba, ba-da-ba, ba-da

Another day out in the clear
I'm so afraid that I'll disappear, oh dear

I see you walking in a straight line
Always doing just fine
You know how this looks from the outside?
I'm not hating on you, I'm just trying to do
A little cleaning, get rid of the mess in my room
But every time I try to speak my mind
I get lost in the thought
Relive the battles I've fought
All the healing for naught – you see?
I've been doing okay, tryin' to find my own way
But now I falter, I'm shaking
And I can't stop overthinking

Feel a little thinned out, yeah
Got a whole world to turn around
Have a bit of self-doubt, yeah
Got me feeling drained and worn out
And my mind is going ba-ba, ba-da-ba, ba-da
So you hear me singing ba-ba, ba-da-ba, ba-da

Another day out in the clear
I'm so afraid that I'll disappear

And my mind is going ba-ba, ba-da-ba, ba-da
So you hear me singing ba-ba, ba-da-ba, ba-da

Feel a little thinned out, yeah
Got a whole world to turn around
Have a bit of self-doubt, yeah
Got me feeling drained and worn out
And my mind is going ba-ba, ba-da-ba, ba-da
So you hear me singing ba-ba, ba-da-ba, ba-da
Oh, oh, oh-oh

In The Clear

Where’d you drift off?
Did you miss the land?
Left me adrift in fog,
Filling holes with sand.
I lit the flare, but you went blind
Coulda called, but changed your mind
Shoulda stayed, but played the kind
Of legs that never learned to stand

You said “maybe,”
I heard “never”
And it broke me
Too damn clever
Wish you'd want it
Just enough
But love for you was always rough

Shoulda, woulda, coulda said it
But you let me break within
Left the engine runnin’, sped it
Right back to where you've been
We were hanging by a thread
Spun from stars we never met
I would lose you just to prove
I don't use what I regret

I took the hit,
Swallowed every dull excuse
Poured a fifth
Just to get a little loose
Thought if I gave more than half
You’d let me make it last
But you vanished in the math
Now I’m proof you can’t deduce

You say “sorry,”
I say “maybe”
Like chopped off fingers
Our digits severed
You gave nothing
That was real
I gave you every ache I feel

Shoulda, woulda, coulda held me
But you folded, played it cold
Said you missed me, then repelled me
Watched me raise, watched me fold
We were comets pulled apart
By a wish that had no spark
I would rather break in two
Than be the one who left a mark

Now we're cobwebs in the attic
We were magic, then dramatic
Started comedic, ended tragic
And you vanish like a trick
I still see me in your madness
In the mess, behind the glasses
Told myself you’re not the axis
But I still revolve too quick

Shoulda, woulda, coulda saved it
But we drowned in all that light
Used to shine it, now we fake it
In the cracks between the night
You were someone I once knew
Built from stars and residue
I would lose you all again
If it meant I made it through

Shoulda, woulda, coulda saved it
But we drowned in all that light
Used to shine it, now we fake it
In the cracks between the night
You were someone I once knew
Built from stars and residue
I would lose you all again
If it meant I made it through

Shoulda, woulda, coulda
Shoulda, woulda, coulda
Shoulda, woulda, coulda
oh!
