  • I've been drinking absinthe
    I just did the math, it ain't adding up
    I've had enough of
    Running 'round this board game
    You can know your own name
    I won't give it up

    Am I crazy?
    Am I foolish?
    Am I stupid
    For playing these games with you?

    If I told you I loved you
    Would you say that it's fucked up?
    If I told you they're flying
    Would you say that you looked up?
    Don't take me for what I'm saying
    Just take me for what I am
    'Cause this is where I'm staying
    My two feet are in the sand

    I've been reading old shit
    And I can't make sense of it
    Ain't no conspiracy that can save me
    Living in the moment feels good to me
    'Til it hurts and I need somebody

    Am I crazy?
    Am I foolish?
    Am I stupid
    For playing these games with you?

    If I told you I loved you
    Would you say that it's fucked up?
    If I told you they're flying
    Would you say that you looked up?
    Don't take me for what I'm saying
    Just take me for what I am
    'Cause this is where I'm staying
    My two feet are in the sand

    Take me as I am
    I'm tired of dancing around the point
    Sharp and it is jagged
    Like the shape of glass and it steals my voice

    If I told you I loved you
    Would you say that it's fucked up?
    If I told you they're flying
    Would you say that you looked up?
    Don't take me for what I'm saying
    Just take me for what I am
    'Cause this is where I'm staying
    My two feet are in the sand

    If I told you I loved you
    Would you say that it's fucked up?
    If I told you they're flying
    Would you say that you looked up?
    Don't take me for what I'm saying
    Just take me for what I am
    'Cause this is where I'm staying
    My two feet are in the sand Writer/s: Daniel Zaidenstadt, Zain Malik
