Lyrics

INTRO — jagged guitar riff, dry drums, distant falsetto

I don't wanna go home

I don't wanna go home

I don't wanna go—

VERSE 1 — quick, rhythmic, almost shouted singing

Your eyes are black in the bathroom light

Your friends are waiting outside

You said you wouldn't stay too long

But you've been gone the whole night

And I can feel it in my stomach

Something crawling up my spine

You're looking through me when you kiss me

Like you're somewhere else tonight

I wanna run

I wanna scream

I wanna know what you mean

When you say that you love me

With your teeth in your sleeve

PRE-CHORUS — bass accelerates, vocals climb

Oh, I can hardly breathe

When you're standing next to me

And I can hardly sleep

When you're not here with me

CHORUS — explosive, melodic, urgent falsetto

We're just running in circles

Running out of time

Your body next to my body

But your heart isn't mine

And I can't stop, I can't stop

I can't get you out of my head

We're just beautiful people

With nothing left

POST-CHORUS — gang vocals, repeated over crashing drums

Nothing left!

Nothing left!

Nothing left!

VERSE 2 — fast, angular phrasing

I saw you dancing with a stranger

Like you never knew my name

I was standing by the speakers

Trying not to feel ashamed

And everybody's getting older

Everybody's getting high

You keep saying that you're sorry

With somebody else's eyes

I don't wanna be your lover

If I'm only here to lose

I don't wanna be the person

That you come back to abuse

PRE-CHORUS — breathless, layered harmonies

Oh, I can hardly breathe

When you're standing next to me

And I can hardly sleep

When you're not here with me

CHORUS — full band, soaring falsetto

We're just running in circles

Running out of time

Your body next to my body

But your heart isn't mine

And I can't stop, I can't stop

I can't get you out of my head

We're just beautiful people

With nothing left

BRIDGE — guitars become noisy, vocals increasingly desperate

I don't wanna see the sunrise

I don't wanna see you leave

I don't wanna hear the stories

That you tell yourself about me

And I know that I'm a problem

And I know that you're the same

But there's something in the way you touch me

That makes me forget your name

FINAL CHORUS — double-time drums, screaming falsetto harmonies

We're just running in circles

Running out of time

Your body next to my body

But your heart isn't mine

And I can't stop, I can't stop

I can't get you out of my head

We're just beautiful people

With nothing left

OUTRO — guitars ring out, breathless repeated vocals

I don't wanna go home

I don't wanna go home

I don't wanna go—

I can't stop

I can't stop

I can't stop.
