I think I'm Losing My Place
From The Messy Middle
I think I'm Losing My Place
Lyrics
(mhm)
I checked my pocket twice in the last three minutes But there's nothing there, just the weight of the air I'm sitting at the table, staring at the crumbs And I swear I felt a buzz against my thumb (did you hear that?) It's like a ghost is tapping on my shoulder Trying to tell me something I already know I'm waiting for a word from someone I don't see While the actual room is closing in on me
It's a hum in the wall, it's a itch in my head It's the things I haven't looked at, the things I haven't said I'm reaching for a shadow that isn't even there I think I'm losing my place
The light from the hallway is a weird shade of blue And I'm wondering what everyone is getting up to My focus is a mirror that someone just cracked Every time I try to settle, I get pulled right back (yeah, right back) I forgot how to just sit here and breathe Without looking for a reason to leave
(Don't look) (Don't check) But the muscle memory is stronger than the rest It's a reflex, a habit, a recurring test And I'm failing it, over and over again
It's a hum in the wall, it's a itch in my head It's the things I haven't looked at, the things I haven't said I'm reaching for a shadow that isn't even there I think I'm losing my place
(losing my place) (it's just static) (I think I'm losing my place) (static)
