Flatline Lyrics

We stand in long lines waitin' for a ticket
To see paradise for just one minute
I thought I saw you walk away
I thought I knew you well

Stay on your good side, say what you wanna hear
Bend over backwards and shut up until I disappear
You'd never change for anyone
But I'm so envious

And I give my love, but it's not enough
Now this feels like a waste of time
Then you fall from a height
Or we both could dive
Oh, what did you have in mind?

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh)
I chase the landslide to keep you on my side
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh)
Now I'm holdin' a flatline to make you feel alive
To make you feel alive

I pay a high price
I give myself away
You'd never think twice to ever do the same
And in the half-light we were glorious
I crumble every time

And I give my love, but it's not enough
Now this feels like a waste of time
Then you fall from a height
Or we both could dive
Oh, what did you have in mind?

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh)
I chase the landslide to keep you on my side
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh)
Now I'm holdin' a flatline to make you feel alive
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh)
I chase the landslide to keep you on my side
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh)
Now I'm holdin' a flatline to make you feel alive
To make you feel alive

I've been wakin' up in the dead of night
Still holdin' on to a flatline
And I'm wakin' up in the dead of night
Still holdin' on, holdin' on
And I'm wakin' up in the dead of night
Still holdin' onto a flatline
And I'm wakin' up in the dead of night
Still holdin' onto a flatline

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh)
I chase the landslide to keep you on my side
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh)
Now I'm holdin' a flatline to make you feel alive
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh)
I chase the landslide to keep you on my side
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh)
Now I'm holdin' a flatline to make you feel alive
To make you feel alive
