Arrhythmia Accepting that you live with uncertainty If you're lonely press play Die lady die The aspects that you pass on when traveling When you're lonely press play 'Cause you're not resolved in your heart You're waiting for me To improve Right here When I'm lonely I press play Swimming in blue After new year into the mirror she flew When I'm lonely I press play Can I get any closer One anecdote cannot not bring to you When I'm lonely I press play 'Cause you're not resolved in your heart You're waiting for me To improve Right here When I'm lonely I press play Arrhythmia Accepting that you live with uncertainty If you're lonely press play Can I get any closer One anecdote cannot bring to you When I'm lonely I press play 'Cause you're not resolved in your heart You're waiting for me
