Lyrics: Junior Varsity. Wide Eyed. Saltwater Fountain.

Strung up, tuned to the key of anxiety
He watches intently
Stayed up, ruined another day of sleep
He drifts off immediately

And he's dreaming, waiting for his heart
To leave this throat back to his chest
Sleeve's wet with water from his brow
Up to the surface

Talked up, beat to the point of nothing
He washes discretely
Dressed up, covered from head to toe
Stripped down naked sleeping off the shame

Dreaming, waiting for his heart
To leave this throat back to his chest
Eyes wet his yawns
From a lack of air in head

How could I breathe with this elephant on my chest?
Just enough to live wide eyed alive
How could I think with my heart beating out of my chest?
I'm completely wide eyed alive

Thought process, come back to me
I'm practiced but out of my league
I'll dress this mannequin to mirror image
Then quench my thirst on this saltwater fountain

Now, how could I breathe?
Wide eyed alive, wide eyed alive
Now, how could I think?
Wide eyed alive, wide eyed alive

Now, how could I breathe?
Wide eyed alive, wide eyed alive
Now, how could I think?
Wide eyed alive, wide eyed alive

Now, how could I breathe?
Wide eyed alive, wide eyed alive
