    let this keep me! (please, sit back down)
    let this hold me down! (sit back down)
    i got the message! (sit back down)
    you never wanted me to get! (Sit back! sit back!)
    (sit back and watch)

    we all sing of the same sorrows (sing my sorrows)
    but no one can sing the same song. (sing my sorrows)
    this nameless feeling (sing my sorrows)
    of anxiety and regret. (sing my sorrows)
    I can sing my own sorrows!
    (i can sing my own sorrows)

    sitting in this windowless room
    is my last chance at happiness
    the needle on the record skips
    it skips, it skips, it skips away.
