Lyrics
So sick of being lonely, do you want to get to know me
I’m a zero, I’m a weirdo, I’m a struggling super hero
But I’m a star in outer space
Ask any alien, they’ll say I’m the real deal
We found each other in our worst ways, everything was going, gone
All the drugs we took for breakfast couldn’t convince us nothing’s wrong
Do you ever feel like nothing’s real
Like the Truman Show or something way more miserable
If we tell each other secrets
Even the dark parts that don’t glow
Maybe life could feel a little less alone
We may never stand a chance, but we still gotta try
No one’s coming to save us from ourselves tonight
Chance encounters
I felt sinister on the sidewalk
Intrusive thoughts abound
I kind of felt like jumping into traffic downtown
It all blurs together and it barely makes sense
We were 16 once, we will never be again
How you listened, oh my god
What a spiritual awakening
How I listened, oh my god
To the genius you’re self-training
Maybe things can never be the same and that’s okay
If we tell each other secrets
Even the dark parts that don’t glow
Maybe life could feel a little less alone
We may never stand a chance, but we still gotta try
No one’s coming to save us from ourselves tonight
Chance encounters
Chalk it up to fate or whatever
Blame it on a higher power
For this chance encounter
Maybe the right stars have aligned and we’ve crossed into a parallel life
From this chance encounter
We may never stand a chance, but we still gotta try
No one’s coming to save us from ourselves tonight
