[Verse 1]
The kids 'round here stuck in their teens
Chasing the notion that's in between
The feeling you get when you're hypnotised
And the feeling you get looking in snake eyes
It's not what you want, that's the way that it seems
Turning up while you turn up your jeans
It's harder to see when you improvise
And it's harder to run when you feel tongue-tied

[Pre-Chorus]
By the yes and the no, that helps you let go
And feel alright for days

[Chorus]
Tell me what you wanted
And then tell me how to be it
Through the constant "Hello"s and "We won't let go"s
The hearts in between the 'X's and 'O's
Tell me when it's okay
Hiding happiness in clichés
Drop me down to my knees, fill my memories
Because we all need a little bit of tigerblood

[Verse 2]
Is it real, is it not, and do I mind?
Is it everything you hoped to find?
Turned to me and then replied
Is it just so wrong to fantasise
About the times when we felt alive?
Holding up, holding out, holding on for the ride
Screaming, "Oh my god", looking to the skies
Wanna feel, wanna love, wanna recognise
[Pre-Chorus]
That the things I don't miss, make me reminisce
And feel alright for days

[Chorus]
Tell me what you wanted
And then tell me how to be it
Through the constant "Hello"s and "We won't let go"s
The hearts in between the 'X's and 'O's
Tell me when it's okay
Hiding happiness in clichés
Drop me down to my knees, fill my memories
Because we all need a little bit of tigerblood

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Tell me what you wanted
And then tell me how to be it
Through the constant "Hello"s and "We won't let go"s
The hearts in between the 'X's and 'O's
Tell me when it's okay
Hiding happiness in clichés
Drop me down to my knees, fill my memories
Because we all need a little bit of tigerblood
[Outro]
(Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da)
(Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da)
(Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da)
(Da-da, da-da, oh)
