[Verse 1]
Tennessee's in me, here I am
Who am I in the mirror?
Giving my thanks to teenage angst
Wishing things could be clearer
21 ain't what I thought it'd be
Neither was 17
[Verse 2]
Trapped lights buzzing around
Tired of the fight, but I'm a fighter
Stuck in the middle of somewhere
Distance and desire
I left home so I could be free
What has that done for me?
[Chorus]
I missed when the weight of the world
Wasn't waging a war
And I was too young to pretend that
I'm the product of the changes
From the phases in thе cages
I locked myself in
Oh this changing
Is waging
A war on my soul
A war on my mind
It's bliss, thеn it's bleak
Swear I'm fine, swear I'm fine, swear I'm fine
[Verse 2]
Well I'm obsessive, I'm excessive
I'm a moth drawn to a flame
I can be reckless with no checklist
You've been cropping me out the frame
I can be here for you, there for you
Then any day you can call
And I'm gone
And I'm gone
[Chorus]
When the weight of the world
Is waging a war
And I'm still trying to pretend
I'm the product of the changes
From the phases in the cages
I locked myself in
Oh this changing
Is waging
A war on my soul
A war on my mind
It's bliss, then it's bleak
Swear I'm fine, swear I'm fine, swear I'm fine
(Swear I'm fine)
[Outro]
Oh it's changing
Is waging
A war on my soul
A war on my mind
It's bliss, then it's bleak
Swear I'm fine, swear I'm fine, swear I'm fine
