The Attic

Can I put my bags down here?
How do I know you won't disappear?
Can I? Can I?
Would it be okay to take it slow?
Just tell me if you don't
You don't want me here

I was, I was
Always quick to rush in
Always all or nothing
That's how it was, that's how it was
Shouldn't we just cut the cord?
If you could hurt me more
Than he ever did
This is no way to live

Got my feet on the ground
But my head's up the stairs
And I'm spiraling down
But I'm up in the
Up in the air
I'm up in the air
And it's fine in your basement
And on the first floor
Though my knees aren't shaking
My head's feeling worse than before
Is it worse than before?

Don't think I can stand it
Ah yeah, there's panic in the attic
Panic in the attic
You're not the one who did me damage
Not yet, but there's panic in the attic
Panic in the attic
It's not your fault

Can I make the paradigm shift?
Or will you leave me like my father did
When I was a kid?
Can there be another way?
Is it too soon to say?
Can it be what it is?
Can you handle all this?

Got my feet on the ground
But my heads up the stairs
And I'm spiraling down
But I'm up in the
Up in the air
I'm up in the air
And it's fine in your basement
And on the first floor
Though my knees aren't shaking
My head's feeling worse than before
Is it worse than before?

Don't think I can stand it
Ah yeah, there's panic in the attic
Panic in the attic
You're not the one who did me damage
Not yet, but there's panic in the attic
Panic in the attic
It's not your fault
