Lyrics

Tense

[Verse 1]

My youth

It's fading and growing weary

I spend my whole life waiting for something new

Can you feel it?

'Cause there's no sight of you that changes the way I see you

The way that I see you

I'm waiting for something new

I'm waiting for something new

[Verse 2]

I wanna watch your memories make you break from losing people

I wanna see the pain on your face

Maybe then you'd know your place

When there's nothing left at all

But drugs and alcohol

You don't know where I've been

I hope you wake up sad everyday

[Outro]

Can you feel it?

Could you feel it all along?

Can you feel it?

Could you feel it all along?

Could you feel it all along?
