Lyrics

[Verse 1] Try not to worry there's a voiceover Go on, go quiet for a change We can dial down the daylight a little I think this candy blue sky's messing with our brains [Pre-Chorus] We must have hit our heads Don't expect familiar feelings No one knows what to talk about Just come lay down here on the couch [Chorus] Drop down out of the clouds you're in Drop down like an alien I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in Drop down like an alien [Verse 2] I'll find you something fun to wear That goes along with all your feelings We'll go extremely vivid Buttoned up and unrevealing I can be your nurse or something Bring you watеrmelon nicotine I can hold a swimmer hеre To the shore by a string [Pre-Chorus] Hurry up, we don't have time Avalanches in my mind I'm getting buried in this dream It's just as soapy as it seems [Chorus] Drop down out of the clouds you're in Drop down like an alien I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in Drop down like an alien [Bridge] There's this one old idea I'm having Stuck in a car wash somewhere and you can't stop laughing Off the rails and no one's coming to get us I think I like it here, so I'm gonna let 'em forget us [Pre-Chorus] Hurry up, we don't have time Avalanches in my mind I'm getting buried in this dream It's just as soapy as it seems [Chorus] Drop down out of the clouds you're in Drop down like an alien I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in Drop down like an alien [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Drop down out of the clouds you're in Drop down like an alien I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in Drop down like an alien [Instrumental Outro]
