[Intro: Spoken Word - Laura Whiteside]
You have sixteen new messages
First new message:
Why do I even bother calling you
I've called you sixteen times today
And I know you've been online
So stop ignoring me

[Verse 1: Ben Barlow]
I made a critical mistake in a momentary lapse of judgement
Now you've called me up again
To remind me of the ways I fucked up
So then I'll take all the blame
It all just feels the same
And we move on
Then I screw it up again
Are you noticing a trend?
Should I go on?
So I said:

[Chorus: Ben Barlow]
I could be everything you need
If you could learn to be someone else
I keep trying to bridge the distance
You've been thinking about yourself
It's the way you want the world to be
It's the way you want the world to be
[Verse 2: Ben Barlow]
I'm the sinner, you're a saint
You will always have your way
Will you let go?
But when a cynic and a snake come together
It could take a miracle
But it only lasts so long
I know it won't be long 'till I screw up
Can we start it all again
And go back to when we were both wrong?
'Cause we're both wrong
So I said

[Chorus: Ben Barlow]
I could be everything you need
If you could learn to be someone else
I keep trying to bridge the distance
You've been thinking about yourself
It's the way you want the world to be
It's the way you want the world to be

[Bridge: FIl Thorpe-Evans, Ben Barlow]
And it all just seemed too perfect to be true
There's nothing perfect about me and you
And I tried to see the best
But I saw right through you
And I know I could be better
But you won't let me forget
That it always seemed so perfect when I played it in my head
[Verse 3: Ben Barlow]
You made a critical mistake in a momentary lapse of judgement
Now I'm walking out the door
Like all those times before
Guess I fucked up
So I said

[Chorus: Ben Barlow]
I could be everything you need
If you could learn to be someone else
I keep trying to bridge the distance
You've been thinking about yourself
It's the way you want the world to be
It's the way you want the world to be
I could be everything you need
If you could learn to be someone else
