Paralyzed Lyrics

Take a few steps back and look ahead

What a beautiful sunrise

Could you be thinking of what I've been thinking of if you just glanced right at my eyes?

There's a quarter tank left in reserve for moments like these

I desperately have been wanting to go but I can't find my keys

You called me up heading out the door

Pulling through with compromise

With smiles forced harder than before

Gritting teeth through tired eyes

We arrived among the drunk and lonely, in attempt to mend

Our broken hearts and battered souls

I guess we'll see how this ends

I passed out for a second driving home

I end up waking up alone, drifting off the road

Half shit-faced, half-stoned

But completely down

Just walk on by; I'm not even there—

Decaying on the ground

We showed up like we wanted to be there

But we were so scared

We couldn't move even if we wanted

Paralyzed, but awake and conscious

I never felt I had the option to leave

But the guilt sunk its teeth in

Stopped my lungs from breathing, and stood there and watched it happen

I passed out for a second driving home

I end up waking up alone, drifting off the road

Half shit-faced, half-stoned

But completely down

Just walk on by like I'm not even there

Decaying on the ground
