RAT BOY – Sad Sad lyrics

[Hook 1: Mallory Merk]
When the lights go out
I think I'm dreaming
When nature's wide awake
The world is sleeping
Our problems seem so small
I could take you by the hand
And make you mine...
Make you mine

[Verse 1: RAT BOY]
Well my skin's getting worse
Late nights, no sleep
What a curse
Verses still flow through my pen
As I sit down in my den
Under my bunk bed
Half dead
The family tread
The floor beside me
I need, to get paid...for studio time
But girl I find...
Oh lord it's not my fault

[Hook 2: Mallory Merk]
When the lights go out
You'll think you're dreaming
When nature's wide awake
You're probably sleeping
Your problems seem small
At least we have the chance
To live and die...
Live and die

[Chorus: RAT BOY & Mallory Merk]
My teenage sweetheart
Is already fading away from me girl (Away from me)
My teenage sweetheart
Is already fading away from me girl (Away from me)

[Instrumental]

[Partial Chorus: RAT BOY & Mallory Merk]
My teenage sweetheart
Is already fading away from me girl (From...me..girl)
(From me girl, from me girl, from me girl)

[Verse 2: Mallory Merk]
Do you understand
How I'm feeling?
These four walls
All closed by the ceiling
Screens don't shine like that
Baby, with me you'll stay

[Chorus: RAT BOY & Mallory Merk]
My teenage sweetheart
Is already fading away from me girl (Away from me)
My teenage sweetheart
Is already fading away from me girl (Away from me girl)

[Verse 3: RAT BOY]
It's too late
The bass wakes the face
Of mum and Dad,
Sister getting ready
For the next day's work race
I need my own place
I'll leave with no trace
Apart from the pen and paint
Left on the walls
From my foolish years
Still got a ringing in my ears
In this place
I thought a thousand fears
Gave into peers
Had my first heartbreak, tears
And hid my first cans of beers

[OUTRO/Instrumental]
