[Refrain]
I ain’t trying to stress you, I must confess though
My heart’s beating to your song (Oh yeah)
Thinking, “Hurry up Orpheus, time’s a wasting
(Show me what you really wanna do?)”

[Verse 1]
Another late night, endless dreaming
The day to day starts to call
Still got like a million deadlines, still bleeding red wine
My back up against the wall
I got my headphones on, walk home is long

Dragging feet like I’m born to lose
‘Til somehow they’re tapping along, to you know who’s song
A melody I can’t refuse
I’m outta line but it’s fine, you don’t know my name
Safe inside my own mind, I don’t feel the shame, okay?
I know I get a little carried away
But we got music when there aren’t any words to say
‘Cause in my heart, feel a spark when you look this way
Gimme a sign from the stage when you feel the same
Now I’m in distress, you got me possessed, I might be obsessed
So let me get a little something of my chest

[Refrain]
I ain’t trying to stress you, I must confess though
My heart’s beating to your song (Oh yeah)
Thinking, “Hurry up Orpheus, time’s a wasting
(Show me what you really wanna do?)”

[Chorus]
Tonight it’s my turn to show you how obvious I can be
Sometimes it feels like you’re playing that guitar for me and only me
Critic so loud, so predictable, they can’t see what I can see
You’re gonna wind up a star, you got me dancing so bizzare
This distance got me feeling fonder, I wonder if it’s enough
‘Cause I’m not lying when I’m implying you’re all that I’ve been thinking of

Maybe they’ll call me delusional, baby, this could be real love?
Give me one chance and I’ll take, you make me dance the night away

[Interlude]
(Get us help, guh)

[Verse 2]
Now it’s a game that I’ve played before but with the way the scene changed
There is nothing you can blame me for
I’m talking TV screens, magazines, seen you in a couple dreams
Pictures up on every padded wall and floor
You’re always talking ’bout, “No time to desire a lover”
So, why’d you paint your nails up in my favorite color
I got an attitude, just when it comes to you
So yeah, reality is kinda slipping out of tune
I’m never lost in a groove of somebody new
If it’s devotion you’re after, I’m staying true
So are you noticing me noticing you noticing me?
No disillusion but there’s not a lot of guarantee
‘Cause in my heart, feel a spark when you look this way
Gimme a sign from the stage when you feel the same
You’re strumming next to me, now I’m in ecstasy
And for the rest of the week I’m depression-free (Alright)

[Refrain]
I ain’t trying to stress you, I must confess though
My heart’s beating to your song (Oh yeah)
Thinking, “Hurry up Orpheus, time’s a wasting
(Show me what you really wanna do?)”

[Chorus]
Tonight it’s my turn to show you how obvious I can be
So just as long as you keep playing that guitar, yeah
Critic so loud, so predictable, they can’t see what I can see
You’re gonna wind up a star, you got me dancing so bizzare (C’mon)
This distance got me feeling fonder, I wonder if it’s enough
‘Cause I’m not lying when I’m implying you’re all that I’ve been thinking of
Maybe they’ll call me delusional, baby, this could be real love?
Give me one chance and I’ll take, you make me dance the night away

[Post-Chorus]
(Orpheus get me going)
(Take me to space with the bass and 情熱)
So let’s blow this joint and if the feeling’s right
Then we can make a little music of our own tonight, come on
(Orpheus get me going)
(Take me to space with the bass and 情熱)
Why you walking away? I got a lot to say
Guess I’ll save it for the next one (Woo)

[Refrain]
I ain’t trying to stress you, I must confess though
My heart’s beating to your song (Oh yeah)
Thinking, “Hurry up Orpheus, time’s a wasting
Show me what you really wanna do?”
