Here I am, take me
It's easier to give in... no oo woo oo woo oo o
Some people mistake me
They only hear what they want to hear

2nd Guitar:
If you're losing sleep, forgive me
I just can't keep pretending
Chorus:
I'm packing my bags 'cause I don't wanna be
The only one who's drowning in their misery
And I'll take that chance 'cause I just wanna breathe
And I won't look back and wonder how it's supposed to be
How it's supposed to be... ho woo
Verse 2:
There's a prism by the window
It lets the light leak in... no oo woo oo woo oo o
I wish you would let me
You feel the water but do you swim... mm mm oh oo oh oo woo oo oh

And it's only me, empty handed
With a childish grin, and a camera

How it's supposed to be... ho woo

How it's supposed to be
Tell me how it's supposed to be
Tell me how, tell me how, tell me how it's supposed to be
