Vertigo

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Curtains drawn against the morning

I count the cracks along the wall

Everyone says time is a healer

But the ceiling keeps on caving in

Pre-Chorus

And when I finally stand up straight

The room begins to slide

My own two feet betray me

Every single time

Chorus

I get sick when I move

Spinning out of the blue

Every step that I take

Is a fall I can't undo

I get sick when I move

And the floor drops away

I'm trying to get better

But my body wants to stay

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Falling when I go

Oh-oh oh-oh

Falling when I go

Verse 2

My friends are dancing in the kitchen

I'm holding on to the doorframe

They keep saying just keep swimming

But the water's pulling down my name

Pre-Chorus

I want to be the girl who runs

Who laughs and doesn't brace

But vertigo lives in my chest

And it never leaves a trace

Chorus

I get sick when I move

Spinning out of the blue

Every step that I take

Is a fall I can't undo

I get sick when I move

And the floor drops away

I'm trying to get better

But my body wants to stay

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Falling when I go

Oh-oh oh-oh

Falling when I go

Bridge

Maybe healing isn't forward

Maybe it's just standing still

Learning how to breathe through

The tilt against my will

I'll count the seconds till it settles

Then I'll try again

Over and over again

Chorus

I get sick when I move

Spinning out of the blue

Every step that I take

Is a fall I can't undo

I get sick when I move

And the floor drops away

I'm trying to get better

And I'm getting better

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Falling when I go

Oh-oh oh-oh

I'm falling less I know

Oh-oh oh-oh

Falling when I go

Oh-oh oh-oh
