I've been hungry since Tuesday
But eaten more than I have ever done
Maybe I'm not hungry for the food on my tongue

I haven't slept since Tuesday
But I'm more tired than I have ever been
Maybe I'll just wilt like the flowers on my skin

Now I can't eat pistachios
There's swimming pools in my collar bones
Computer games are ruined
Though I never learned to play
My hair doesn't feel blonde enough
But the roots help to remind me of
The day you said those three short words
I hoped you'd never say

Let's press pause
Let's press pause
Let's press pause

I haven't cried since Tuesday
But it's the worst that I have ever felt
Said I'd switch my feelings off
I meant it as a joke
But now I'm scared of what I've done to myself

I like to watch the moon at night
Wondering if you might
Be looking at the same time as me
But you're probably fast asleep
I wish I knew that kind of peace
The best I've got is the sky at
Half past three

When the world pauses
Like we paused
Like we paused

Been replaying our time since Tuesday
But the tape's begun to warp and fade
The more I try to look back
The more corrupted it becomes
But I'd watch static for just a glimpse of your face

But you pressed pause
You pressed pause
You pressed pause
