Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Morning news on in the kitchen
Coffee shaking in my hand
Someone laughs in the next apartment
I don’t quite understand
Shoelace knotted on the doorstep
Sirens sliding far away
Kids draw fire in their notebooks
Red and orange crayon rain
[Chorus]
Bombs dropping today
But the sky looks the same as yesterday
We still stand in the line
Still pay
Bombs dropping today
Say we’re fine but we’re frayed
We’re frayed
Just trying not to look that way
[Verse 2]
Calendar full
Keep on scrolling
Birthday party Saturday
Buy a dress
Pretend it matters
Like it's all gonna stay
Group chat lighting up with memes and
Someone types “are you okay?”
Thumbs hover over the letters
What am I supposed to say?
[Chorus]
Bombs dropping today
But the sky looks the same as yesterday
We still stand in the line
Still pay
Bombs dropping today
Say we’re fine but we’re frayed
We’re frayed
Just trying not to look that way
[Bridge]
Turn the volume down
Then higher (higher)
Change the channel
Same old fire
If every headline sounds the same
Do we still feel the weight
Or just say the name?
[Chorus]
Bombs dropping today
But the sky looks the same as yesterday
We still stand in the line
Still pay
Bombs dropping today
Say we’re fine but we’re frayed
We’re frayed
Bombs dropping today
Hold my hand till it fades away
