歌词：

Twenty seconds on the backlog¹, overtime²
Just twenty seconds 'til we're swept by the tide
We're treading water in the dead of night
And we're speechless, just speechless

Cause you've got me right where you want me
As a tsunami³ tide rolls over
The landscape that we built a home in
Inside of our minds

We're staring skywards waiting for a sign
Up to our necks in it 'til the day brings us light
And our whole lives are flashing before our eyes
And we're speechless

Cause you've got me right where you want me
As a tsunami tide rolls over
The landscape that we built a home in
Inside of our minds

So we fall and we break
And we make the same mistakes
Like we always, always do
And we crawl, intertwined
Forced apart from the inside
Like we always, always knew

And I'm speechless
Just speechless

Twenty seconds on the backlog, overtime
Just twenty seconds 'til you're no longer mine.
