Ellie Holcomb
Sideways
[Verse 1]
Out of control tonight
You could cut the tension with a knife
I've been running from it for my whole life
And I thought if I could bury it
Then I could stay alive, but–

[Chorus]
It’s coming out sideways now
I don't even recognize myself anymore
I thought you were the enemy
Bringing out the worst of me
I've run out of ways to lock it down
But it’s coming out sideways now

[Verse 2]
I can feel the storm is rolling in
And I don't know how to stop it
When it's underneath my skin
And the further I run
I end up back to where I started
And I'm getting so damn tired
Of giving up and giving in, so–

[Chorus]
It's coming out sideways now
I don't even recognize myself anymore
I thought you were the enemy
Bringing out the worst of me
I've run out of ways to lock it down
And it's coming out sideways now
[Bridge]
The moment I stop fighting it
It’s easier to see
The fire you’ve been lighting isn't hurting anything
It’s how I know my way back home
And why I feel so deep
It's a part of me
But when I don't let it breathe
Then I let it go sideways

[Chorus]
It's coming out sideways now
I don’t even recognize myself anymore
I thought you were the enemy
Bringing out the worst of me
I've run out of ways to lock it down
And it's coming out sideways now
