F#m7
wanna take a time lapse and take a look at backwards
B7
from the last one,
E
or maybe thats just the answer that we're after
C#m7
but after all we're just a bubble in a boiling pot
F#m7
we're just warm breath and a chain of thought
B7
moments just combusting
E
feel certain but we'll never never know
[Pre-chorus]
A7

[Verse]
C#m7
knock knock on the door to door
F#m7
tell you that the metaphore is better than yours
B7
and you can either sink or swim
E
things are looking pretty grim
C#m7 F#m7
if you don't believe in what they're spoon feeding
B7
It's got no feeling
E
so I read it again and again and again
[Pre-chorus]
A7

F#m7
so many different names
B7
are hearts are strong our heads are weak we'll always be competing never
[Chorus]

we're just moments
B7 E
we're clever but we're clueless
C#m7 F#m7
we're just human
