## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Driving me 'round and 'round again

Boys are chasing my mind, I'll leave them behind

Drawing me higher, night's my friend

Stars in your eyes, shining up from my thighs

Running 'round the streets without our shoes on

Hanging every night to learn a new song

Tryna be the cutest girl on your arm, your arm

Dancing on the beach hours before dawn

Tryna sneak home before we got caught

Everything was real before we'd begun, begun

[Pre-Chorus]

I never thought you'd be the one to open up my mind

As you stood thеre by her side, suffocating in hеr lies

[Chorus]

Hey, what is it you're tryna say?

Sick of all the games you play

Only when the demons call

Hey, make me wanna run away

Why is it you never stay?

Only when the demons call

[Verse 2]

With your hands in my hair, you pull me in

Tearing me up inside, body movement, my guide

Smoke on your lips pollutes my fear

Night after night, between sheets, we collide

Driving 'round the streets without our lights on

Hanging every night to smoke and to talk

Tryna be the meanest girl in your car, your car

Lying on the field before we walked home

Trying not to break the silence you brought

Tryna hear the truth between the alarm, alarm

Back to Top

[Pre-Chorus]

I never thought you'd be the one to open up my mind

As you stood there by her side, suffocating in her lies

[Chorus]

Hey, what is it you're tryna say?

Sick of all the games you play

Only when the demons call

Hey, make me wanna run away

Why is it you never stay?

Only when the demons call

[Bridge]

I never thought you'd be the one to open up my mind

As you stood there by her side, suffocating in her lies

I never thought you'd be the one to open up my mind

As you stood there by her side, suffocating in her lies

[Outro]

Blazing trails from the streets, we run

Blacked-out dreams of the songs we sung

Left alone when the demons come, they come

Blazing trails from the streets, we run

Blacked-out dreams of the songs we sung

Left alone when the demons come, they won

Blazing trails from the streets, we run

Blacked-out dreams of the songs we sung

Left alone when the demons come, they come

Blazing trails from the streets, we run

Blacked-out dreams of the songs we sung

Left alone when the demons come, they won

 LYRICS

Driving me round and round again

Boys are chasing my mind, I'll leave them behind

Drawing me higher, nights my friend

Stars in your eyes shining up from my thighs

Running through the streets without our shoes on

Hanging every night, to learn a new song

Trying to be the cutest girl on your arm

Your arm

Dancing on the beach hours before dawn

Trying to sneak home before we got caught

Everything was real before we'd begun

Begun

I never thought you'd be the one the open up my mind

As you stood there by her side

Suffocating in her lies

Hey

What is it you're tryna say

Sick of all the games you play

Only when the daemons

Caa--aal

Hey

Make me wanna run away

Why is it you never stay

Only when the daemons

Caa--aal

With your hands in my hair you pull me in

Tearing me up inside, body movement my guide

Smoke on your lips pollutes my fear

Night after night between sheets we collide

Driving round the streets without our lights on

Hanging every night, to smoke and to talk

Trying to be the meanest girl in your car,

Your car

Lying on the field before we walked home

Trying not to break the silence you brought

Tryna hear the truth between the alarm

Alarm

I never thought you'd be the one the open up my mind

As you stood there by her side

Suffocating in her lies

Hey

What is it you're tryna say

Sick of all the games you play

Only when the daemons

Caa--aal

Hey

Make me wanna run away

Why is it you never stay

Only when the daemons

Caa--aal

I never thought you'd be the one the open up my mind

As you stood there by my side

Suffocating deep in lies

I never thought you'd be the one the open up my mind

As you stood there by her side

Suffocating in her lies

Blazing trails from streets we run

Blacked out dreams of the song we sung

Waking fear for the things you've done

You won

Blazing trails from streets we run

Blacked out dreams of the song we sung

Left alone when the Demons come,

They come
