Meg & Dia
Koala (Stripped)
[Verse 1]
I get so deep in my own head
An endless pit in my own bed
But then you pull me out again
Say, drama queen, this ain’t the end
I fill up with these made-up fears
I drown myself in made-up tears
You say that this is ending here

[Pre-Chorus]
I hold you and I disappear
I disappear
I disappear

[Chorus]
You say, Would I lie to you?
Would I lie to you?
You say come here, my koala
Let me hold you like I oughta
I say, I’m a wreck
I’m a fucking mess
You say come here, my koala
Let me hold you like I oughta

[Verse 2]
Some nights feel like a heavy load
A ticking clock and I explode
The words get caught up in my throat
You give me space, but keep me close
Sometimes the voices get so loud
So loud, like six feet underground
I wake up on the battleground
Scared that I won’t make it out, make it out
[Pre-Chorus]
God, what if no one remembers we’re here
Bones turned to dust as a last souvenir
And I can’t sleep straight through the night

[Chorus]
You say, Would I lie to you?
Would I lie to you?
You say come here, my koala
Let me hold you like I oughta
I say, I’m a wreck
I’m a fucking mess
You say come here, my koala
Let me hold you like I oughta

[Post-Chrous]
I disappear
I disappear

[Chorus]
You say, Would I lie to you?
Would I lie to you?
You say come here, my koala
Let me hold you like I oughta
I say, I’m a wreck
I’m a fucking mess
You say come here, my koala
Let me hold you like I oughta
