Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You go to sleep in your armor
I know that now
If I'm a born performer
You're the unwinnable crowd
[Verse 2]
And you fall in love with people
Just like your dad
No matter how much you give 'em
They never give back
[PreChorus]
And you asked me for water
So I brought you the sea
Yeah, I guess my desperation
Gets the best of me
[Chorus]
We go 'round and 'round in the ring
Painting feathers on our anchors
Pretending they're wings
Our hearts tell us to stop, but our mind still swings
I just wanna be the one you ask to do
Impossible things
Impossible things
[Verse 3]
That time I was a kid
And I almost drowned
Waving my arms above my head
With no one around
And I try my best to make my therapist proud
But seeds like that'll grow in any ground
[PreChorus]
And I asked you for water
And you brought gasoline
Paying me back for all the things you said
You didn't want to mean
[Chorus]
We go 'round and 'round in the ring
Painting feathers on our anchors
Pretending they're wings
Our hearts tell us to stop, but our muscles still swing
I just wanna be the one you ask to do
Impossible things
Impossible things
