TEARS! Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ashton]
There's a hole in the Sun
Cavin' in and I feel it
I'm the fortunate one
Push my luck when I need it
Sad, but what can I do?
Burn the world to start over
Blackin' out in my room
Wake me up when it's over

[Pre-Chorus: Calum]
I'll feel better when I let myself sink deeper, deeper
I'll feel better when I let myself see clearer, clearer

[Chorus: Ashton]
Cryin' eyes
I don't need a reason to get high tonight, high tonight
I just wanna feel alive
Cryin' eyes (Cryin' eyes)
Diamond tears, I wanna see the other side, other side
I just wanna feel alive (Tears)

[Post-Chorus: Ashton]
Hittin' the ground, hittin' the ground
Hittin' the ground, hittin' the ground (Fears)
Pullin' me down, pullin' me down
Pullin' me down, pullin' me down (Tears)
Hittin' the ground, hittin' the ground
Hittin' the ground, hittin' the ground (Fears)
Pullin' me down, pullin' me down
Pullin' me down, pullin' me down
[Verse 2: Calum & Ashton]
It starts in the morning and it goes through my head
I go through the motions and it drives me to bed

[Pre-Chorus: Ashton, Ashton & Calum]
I'll feel better when I let myself sink deeper, deeper
I'll feel better when I let myself see clearer, clearer

[Chorus: Ashton]
Cryin' eyes
I don't need a reason to get high tonight, high tonight
I just wanna feel alive
Cryin' eyes (Cryin' eyes)
Diamond tears, I wanna see the other side, other side
I just wanna feel alive (Tears)

[Post-Chorus: Ashton]
Hittin' the ground, hittin' the ground
Hittin' the ground, hittin' the ground (Fears)
Pullin' me down, pullin' me down
Pullin' me down, pullin' me down (Tears)
Hittin' the ground, hittin' the ground
Hittin' the ground, hittin' the ground (Fears)
Pullin' me down, pullin' me down
Pullin' me down, pullin' me down
[Bridge: Ashton]
Diamonds turn to puddles, no one's feelin' what I'm feeling
Violence in the darkness, are you seein' what I'm seein'?
I was going fifty rounds of uppercuts, I'm bleedin'
I swear to God, no one is feelin' what I'm feelin'

[Chorus: Ashton]
Cryin' eyes (Cryin' eyes)
I don't need a reason to get high tonight, high tonight
I just wanna feel alive
Cryin' eyes (Cryin' eyes)
Diamond tears, I wanna see the other side, other side
I just wanna feel alive (Tears)

[Post-Chorus: Ashton]
Hittin' the ground, hittin' the ground
Hittin' the ground, hittin' the ground (Fears)
Pullin' me down, pullin' me down
Pullin' me down, pullin' me down (Tears)
Hittin' the ground, hittin' the ground
Hittin' the ground, hittin' the ground (Fears)
Pullin' me down, pullin' me down
Pullin' me down, pullin' me down

What did 5 Seconds of Summer say about "TEARS!"?
Genius Answer

The rhythms in this song are so beautifully structured throughout the song. Such a dark beautiful song. Ashton really shone with his songwriting ability on this, and it was obvious it had to be him leading the vocal.
