thirsty – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

It's been a couple months now

It's getting hard to slow down

Things are spinning out of my control

It's a difficult arrangement

Embracing my displacement

When everywhere and nowhere feels like home

Fill this space with a song I'm tired of singing

I don't wanna think about the silence

Brand new faces, always gotta mingle

So I don't have to figure out who I am, oh

So thirsty for attention

So hungry for your love

An honourable mention is never good enough

So thirsty for attention

So hungry for your love

An honourable mention is never good enough

The poison in the chalice

The chemical imbalance

Sleeping in a bed I didn't make

There's something in the water

Or something 'bout a daughter

Everything and nothing stays the same

If home plate's safety, I'm at first base

Still learning how to play it by the book now

I can't turn back, can't stay in one place

But the field feels bigger than it looks though

So thirsty for attention

So hungry for your love

An honourable mention is never good enough

So thirsty for attention

So hungry for your love

An honourable mention is never good enough

Nothing stays the same
