[Verse 1]
Come pick me up, I'll pay for gas
There's nowhere that I wanna be
And we'll drive fast and I won't ask
To pick the music or the street
And we can talk about whatever
And pretend that we won't tell
Even pretending to ourselves
You think it's easy when it's darker
And I like to feel my heart
Speed up with my eyes shut
And feel we're doing something we should not
So, for a time, I spend my life
Just tryna find out when to stop
Just tryna guess when we'll get caught

[Chorus]
This place is suffocating
I'll still be here in five years
Like I promised I won't
Through the wind in your ears
And nothing feels as urgent
These nights are still important
There's still a lot I haven't put into words yet

[Verse 2]
Every time I feel alive
It will feel just like this
I'll get the things you did
Forget the boy I kissed by the hangar
And you'll both be strangers to me
Tonight, it matters how I'm not a person who you wanna see
'Cause I like to talk about the hospital
And go when I don't need it
Just to show the world I feel it
I only ever did it once
And it was selfish, it was fun
But I can't bring myself to
[Bridge]
Hate me for wanting a break
I'll still be here in five years
Where I made every mistake
Sixteen, tried to disappear
For one week and a half
You know it's all an act
There's still a lot I haven't put into words yet

[Chorus]
This place is suffocating
I'll still be here in five years
Like I promised I won't
Through the wind in your ears
And nothing feels this urgent
These nights are still important
And there's still a lot I haven't put into words yet
