Lyrics
Out of reach, out of time
Maybe I'm too high
Out of mind, out of line
Almost lost my sight

I don't know why I do this
I feel like I might lose you
Out of drugs, out of love
So let's compromise

The floor is raising, the sky is falling
The tides are turning, my eyes are burning

Head in the clouds
And I'm not coming down
I used to swim now I'm ready to sink
I wanna give you what I can not do

In a haze, different days
Maybe I'm too nice
In a maze, bitter days
I don't read your signs

I knew that I was foolish
I'm scared that I was stupid
Never change, never take
There's no compromise

The floor is raising, the sky is falling
The tides are turning, my eyes are burning

Head in the clouds
And I'm not coming down
I used to swim now I'm ready to sink
I wanna give you what I can not do

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
