Verse 1
I'm tripping over my shoelaces
I'm feeling rather claustrophobic in these spaces
My brain is going a mile a minute
While my mouth will be speechless
My stomachs got some bugs and
I'm really craving your hug
Pre-Chorus
And I don't know what to do
Or where I need to be
My eyes are blurring, I don't feel so smart
As I'm wandering the aisles in a Walmart
Chorus
They tell you everything you need
Is right before your eyes
Then I must be filled with greed
Because this body isn't mine
These lungs I'm blackening
Are just an artificial thing
And the aisles of this Walmart
Can't get me what I want
Get me what I want
Get me what I want
Verse 2
This nicotine is getting to my brain
I'm feeling as if I've gone insane
My heart is beating miles a minute
Great deals and prices could never change it
Because I'm me, and you're you
Even if my body doesn't like the truth
Pre-Chorus
And I don't know what to do
Or where I need to be
My eyes are blurring, I don't feel so smart
As I'm wandering the aisles in a Walmart
Chorus
They tell you everything you need
Is right before your eyes
Then I must be filled with greed
Because this body isn't mine
These lungs I'm blackening
Are just an artificial thing
And the aisles of this Walmart
Can't get me what I want
Get me what I want
Get me what I want
Bridge
Listen, I know we've had our mo-ments
Against the body we call home-and
I'm trying my best to show-you
That even if we come-through
There'll forever be
That one employee that looks at us funny
Oh
Oh
Oh
Looks at us funny
Chorus
They tell you everything you need
Is right before your eyes
Then I must be filled with greed
Because this body isn't mine
These lungs I'm blackening
Are just an artificial thing
And the aisles of this Walmart
Can't get me what I want
Get me what I want
Get me what I want
Chorus
They tell you everything you need
Is right before your eyes
Then I must be filled with greed
Because this body isn't mine
These lungs I'm blackening
Are just an artificial thing
And the aisles of this Walmart
Can't get me what I want
Get me what you want
Get me what we want
