Oh Ms. Ericson (Help Me Out Extended Mix)

Can't figure out if I should pass you up
Need to figure out if I've had enough
Wish I could just put you up
Far enough out of touch

I wake up, and I don't wanna move
I don't have anything else to prove
I'd rather lay in the tears I cry
And ignore the alarm every single time

Why should I go along
Or let it be gone
Why do I walk the line
Or pretend to be fine
When is the time to say goodbye
Is it a constant fight
To get it right

Oh Ms. Peterson, reality won't win
Oh Mr. Kinney, I'm living in fantasy
One hand has my heart, and one hand has my brain
I'm torn apart by the switching game

Oh Ms. Ericson, help me out
They said this game was fun, but now I have doubt
Oh Ms. Ericson walked in like a ghost in the night
She murdered everyone in the blink of an eye

I could try to find everything
But that doesn't mean I'll get anything
I'm not the type they'll award the right
To live my fantasized, ideal life

Oh Ms. Marcus, they're holding me lawless
Oh Mr. Taylor, they swing with no failure
One side harbors logic, one side harbors feelings
I'm forced into a hypnotic twist by the endless deceiving

Why should I go along
Or let it be gone
Why do I walk the line
Or pretend to be fine
When is the time to say goodbye
Is it a constant fight
To get it right

Oh Mr. Redding, have I seen enough betting
On all the things happening before they start settling
Oh Mr. Glatfelter, can I change for the better
Or will I keep losing myself in the stormy weather

There's an unexplainable, known issue
You won't let your heart or mind be in view
So what else am I to do with you
If I can't get myself to come through

I know a man who traveled years ago
And lost himself on a forbidden back road
He's tainted by the story now
And he can't rewind and undo anyhow

Oh Ms. Cutchall, they don't understand
They can't hear the call or the demands
Oh Ms. Cutchall, won't you say my heart has a chance
To stand up tall and not ruin my own plans

I can't decide where I want to stand
I need to be dealt a better hand
I want the truth, and I want to know
Where exactly I need to go

Oh Ms. Ericson, help me out
I see no sun, and I'm flooded with doubt
Oh Ms. Ericson walked in like a ghost in the night
She murdered everyone in the blink of an eye

There's someone I wish I could show
How valuable he is to the life I know
But I can't speak without the words to say
And he thinks it's already too late

Oh Ms. Ericson, what's the End Game
Call It What You Want, I Did Something Bad on New Year's Day
Oh Ms. Ericson, are you... Ready For It
We've got big reputations, and I know it's Delicate
