Real life is so hard
We hide in the stars
That's where our heads are
My head and your heart

This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I want to detonate

When you are so far
I'm falling apart
Lose all my sonar
You jam my radar

This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I want to detonate

Sometimes I feel I'm getting stuck
Between the handshake and the fuck

You've got me on guard
I've got my head start
My head and your heart
The same in the stars

This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I want to detonate

Sometimes I wish that I could change
I can't save you from my poor brain
Brain, brain, brain, okay

    It seems that things are going okay for him and the girl...Then he has a blackout and becomes an angrier more intense version of himself. Like a manic-depressive. "I can't save you from my poor brain" he wishes he could be normal, but he can't and he's sorry for it.

    The line "Sometimes I feel I'm getting stuck, between the handshake and the fuck"...I love that line, I don't know why I really have no idea what it means.
