[Verse 1]
Isn’t it funny how I was nearly falling now
Trying to wrap my head around you?
You kept me running knowing I could never pin you down
Always trailing right behind you
And I wish I never did it
And I wish I never knew
Did it ever even happen if there’s no proof?
You know I’m happy now
Still, you like to come around
Neither one is telling the truth
Tracing it back to the start

For some reason, the car never made it out of park

[Chorus]
It’s not easy how you linger on me
All the words that we left unsaid got underneath my skin
Call me crazy, I feel the tables turning
I feel the tables turning
I’m the one playing in your head when you can’t sleep

[Verse 2]
Isn’t it funny I’m thinking of another time?
Sneaking out so I could see you
Though you were never mine, maybe in another life
You might even see the plans through
And I wish I could forget it
But the wishing doesn’t change
Kinda wish that you would call me when you’re in L.A
‘Cause if we talk it out, nothing left to talk about
Maybe I just need a clean break

[Chorus]
It’s not easy how you linger on me
All the words that we left unsaid got underneath my skin
Call me crazy
I feel the tables turning

I’m the one playing in your head when you can’t sleep

[Bridge]
I pictured us getting older
I pictured us, but I get it now
I was hanging on to potential
I pictured you moving closer
Just seventeen, would’ve settled down
Was hanging on to potential (Oh)

[Outro]
It’s not easy how you linger on me
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
