Hi, I've been hiding underneath your car
I've been filing down my ego
Listening to the world
And it told me in D minor
But it didn't say a thing
And they send me pretty rainbows
And Alexander Hamilton
It's the pulling of stings, it's the keeping of time
It's the dopamine, and the search for a line
Sometimes I catch it out of the corner of my eye
Can't you see, can't you see, baby
This is why we try
Trapped in a holding pattern
This is only a test
And they've got us surrounded
Trapped us at our nest
And the air conditioning is making me sleepy
Dreaming up calculations
Dreaming up sweet nothings
It's the pulling of stings, it's the keeping of time
It's the dopamine, and the search for a line
Sometimes I catch it out of the corner of my eye
Can't you see, can't you see, baby
This is why we try
So what ever happened to my radio
Where I'd love you forever
But never need the words
It's the pulling of stings, it's the keeping of time
It's the dopamine, and the search for a line
Breaking the cycle is the only design
Can't you see, can't you see, baby
This is why we try
