Smaller as I sit here, pulling at the loose threads now

We're just falling

In love with ourselves

We're spiralling

Did you wanna start a war?
Did you wanna have a family?
Did you wanna be in love?
(Bm)
Did you wanna be in love?

(I never saw the light
I never saw the light
I waited up all night
But I never saw the light)
