Lyrics

Scatterbrain

Dun, dun-dun, dun, dun-dun
(Alright)

Got a lot of friends that I can't escape
Sleepin' in my head like a Motel 6
Hold it all together with a little duct tape
It bends, it breaks

Got a lot of dreams, but I let them die
Ping pong, drip drop, oh my-my
The TV's on, but the noise is white
(What am I doin' now?)

God, can I catch my breath?
Not even for a second
And chasin' Santa Ana winds
And I obsess
I slow dance with the tension
Can you taste it on my lips?

I'm so sca-a-atterbrained
But when you touch me
It all go-o-oes away
Sca-a-atterbrained
For a second
I don't fe-e-eel insane
Come medicate me

I don't sleep at all, yeah
I've been countin' sheep
I look perfect on the surface
But a nightmare underneath

I got anger problems
I say things that I don't mean
Some people pay for therapy
I find it in the sheets

Catch my breath
Not even for a second
Chasin' Santa Ana winds

I'm so sca-a-atterbrained
But when you touch me
It all go-o-oes away
Sca-a-atterbrained
For a second
I don't fe-e-eel insane
Come medicate me

(Sca-a-atterbrained)
I need you, baby
(Go-o-oes away)
I need it daily
(Sca-a-atterbrained)
I need you, baby
(Fe-e-eel insane)
Come medicate me

(Got a lot of friends that I can't escape)
(Can't escape, can't escape)
(Sleepin' in my head like a Motel 6)
(Motel 6)
Come medicate me
