Music and Lyrics by: Melissa Oakvik
VERSE ONE:
Love’s got me up at night
Far away, but outta sight
You failed the test, I threw it away
I’m blinded by the words you say
PRE-CHORUS:
I’m pacin’ and racin’
I’m whipin’ my eyes, fakin’ some smiles
I’m pacin’ and racin’
I’m whipin’ my eyes, fakin’ some smiles
CHORUS:
Who, do you think that I am?
You can’t, just catch and throw back again
Why, are you wasting my time?
Reeling’ in illusions, hiding behind lines
Do you need a manual?
You say you love me, but why can’t you be found?
What do I do, so confused?, and upside down
VERSE TWO:
Love’s got me hypnotized
One look at you, I’m paralyzed
You failed the test, all over again
I’m blinded by the words you said
PRE-CHORUS:
I’m pacin’ and racin’
I’m whipin’ my eyes, fakin’ some smiles
I’m pacin’ and racin’
I’m whipin’ my eyes, fakin’ some smiles
CHORUS:
Who, do you think that I am?
You can’t, just catch and throw back again
Why, are you wasting my time?
Reeling’ in illusions, hiding behind lines
Do you need a manual?
You say you love me, but why can’t you be found?
What do I do, so confused?, and upside down
Who, do you think that I am?
You can’t, just catch and throw back again
Why, are you wasting my time?
Reeling’ in illusions, hiding behind lines
Do you need a manual?
You say you love me, but why can’t you be found?
What do I do, so confused?, and upside down
VERSE ONE:
Love’s got me up at night
Far away, but outta sight
You failed the test, I threw it away
I’m blinded by the words you say
PRE-CHORUS:
I’m pacin’ and racin’
I’m whipin’ my eyes, fakin’ some smiles
I’m pacin’ and racin’
I’m whipin’ my eyes, fakin’ some smiles
CHORUS:
Who, do you think that I am?
You can’t, just catch and throw back again
Why, are you wasting my time?
