BTN Lyrics

It’s run down
The back of my head
The back of my mind
About a hundred thousand times
And I can’t
Seem to shake it
Seem to shake it
Addiction's tying me down

Pull me under
I can’t take it much longer
Pull me under
And it will never stop

You’ve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I’ve been through this patch before
You’ve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I’ve been through this patch before
I’ve been through this patch before

I’m lost and alone in my head
And I can’t make sense of myself
I need to find a simple away
To make this pain just disappear
I know I'll never feel
Safe in my own skin

Pull me under
I can’t take it much longer
Pull me under
And it will never stop

You’ve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I’ve been through this patch before

You’ve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I’ve been through this patch before

No matter how long I’m gone for
It’s at the back of my mind
Another sleepless night
Somebody get me home

I’m so far down
And there’s anyone can say to me
I’m so down, I’m so down

You’ve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I’ve been through this patch before

It’s run down
The back of my head
The back of my mind
About a hundred thousand times
And I can’t
Seem to shake it
Seem to shake it 
Addiction's tying me down
 
Pull me under
I can’t take it much longer
Pull me under
And it will never stop
 
You’ve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I’ve been through this patch before
You’ve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I’ve been through this patch before
I’ve been through this patch before
 
I’m lost and alone in my head
And I can’t make sense of myself
I need to find a simple away
To make this pain just disappear
I know I'll never feel
Safe in my own skin
 
Pull me under
I can’t take it much longer
Pull me under
And it will never stop
 
You’ve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I’ve been through this patch before
 
You’ve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I’ve been through this patch before
 
No matter how long I’m gone for
It’s at the back of my mind
Another sleepless night
Somebody get me home
 
I’m so far down
And there’s anyone can say to me
I’m so down, I’m so down
 
You’ve got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I’ve been through this patch before

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

BTN is the train station code for Brighton, where Architects are from. The song's about how, when they're on tour, they spend so much time away from Brighton, but its always part of them
