[Verse 1: Julien Baker]
Wasn't a fighter 'til somebody told me
I had better learn to lean into the punch
So it don't hurt as bad when they leave
There you were, turnin' your cheek
[Verse 2: Julien Baker]
I look at you and you look at a screen
I'm in the back seat of my body
I'm just steerin' my life in a video game
Similar acts and a different name
[Refrain: Julien Baker]
It's a slow down
[Verse 3: All, Julien Baker]
So would you teach me I'm the villain, aren't I?
Aren't I the one constantly repentin' for a difficult mind?
Push me down into the water like a sinner, hold me under
And I'll never come up again
[Refrain: All]
I'll just stay down
[Bridge: Julien Baker, All]
'Cause it's a half life, it's a fallout
It takes so long for me to settle down
And when I finally do, there's no one else around
[Refrain: Julien Baker]
So I stay down
So I stay down
So I stay down
So I stay down
So I stay down
Wasn't a fighter 'til somebody told me
I had better learn to lean into the punch
So it don't hurt as bad when they leave
There you were, turnin' your cheek
I look at you and you look at a screen
I'm in the back seat of my body
I'm just steerin' my life in a video game
Similar acts and a different name
It's a slow down
So would you teach me I'm the villain, aren't I?
Aren't I the one constantly repentin' for a difficult mind?
Push me down into the water like a sinner, hold me under
And I'll never come up again
I'll just stay down
'Cause it's a half life, it's a fallout
It takes so long for me to settle down
And when I finally do, there's no one else around
So I stay down
So I stay down
So I stay down
So I stay down
So I stay down
