REACHING (the anxiety love song) lyrics
by TE/MO
[Verse 1]
It's 80 in October
I don't want it to get colder
But I want my kids to know the snowfall too
That's if we even get there
Earth is burning, we just don't care
Enough to flip the lights off as we
Run out of the room
[Chorus]
Ooh, you
Ooh, you
[Verse 2]
So many children dying
While the billionaires are flying
And slaying ancient dragons just for fun
But since the world is ending
Won't even bother pretending
That I wouldn't grab your hand
While we're hurdling towards the sun
[Chorus]
Ooh, you
You, you
[Verse 3]
Dread fills my head
'Til I think of what you said
You said "I've known you through millennia
I'll find ya somewhere in the next onе"
True, when we'rе through
I'd still float around through space with you
And even if we never meet again
[Chorus]
I'll reach for you
Ooh
Reaching for you
[Verse 4]
I'm slumped over and scrolling
Algorithmically-emboldened
With how to be mean as can be
To ward off co-dependency
And suddenly it's 1 am
I'm home alone, I miss my friends
So I conjure you up instead
Let you sing me to sleep
[Chorus]
Like ooh, you
Ooh, You
[Verse 5]
Start up my heart
When I feel myself falling apart
Say, "Don't have to be in the room
To know I'm still in love with you"
True, when we're through
I will stall the end of days to find you
Even if we never meet again
[Chorus]
I'll reach for you
You
Reaching for you
[Bridge]
They're giving me the silent treatment
It's fine, I'll picture you with me, then
Finishing the conversations
Meeting all my expectations
I feel crazy, you're not true
Still every cell is reaching for you
Across the Earth, across the sky
Across the very end of time
Across the guilty ends of what I know is mine
[Verse 6]
Taking a breath
Though our leader's shaking hands with Death
I wish I wasn't on my own
Assurance gatekept by a phone
But who's stopping you
From dashing to me when Earth is through
So as I wait for us to meet again
[Chorus]
I'll reach for you
Even if it's when the world is ending (You)
I reach for you
