[Verse 1]

All of us we're always trying to catch up

Call just to let me know what you think

How is this never quite enough

Lost and always trying to get back, can we get back?
[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, call the doctor and the doctor came in
F#m A G A
She said, "Where does it hurt? You know there's a pill for most everything"
F#m A G A
Close your eyes, open wide, and we'll make you smile again

Some people believe in ghosts and some believe in aliens

Just wish I could crawl out of the skin I'm living in

Crawl out of my mind into the outside

Nobody could reach me

Always trying to get it back, trying to get it back
[Pre-Chorus]

But remember all the things that used to be real
F#m A G A
Things to help you believe 'cause you wanna make sense of everything

All at once, you're a ghost, you're some kind of alien
