Standby by MAU-RE Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It looks like you're in the same situation
That you were just in yesterday
And you reach out like you always do
As you keep begging me, begging me please
And though I try not to
I give in to you
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause when I’m with you I get so high
And then after a while I die inside
When I realize despite my effort and tries
This is nothing, just a temporary fix
[Chorus]
What am I
Am I some standby
Emergency life line
You only choose to call
When no one else is around
What am I
Just some confetti
Here for your party
Just to be swept away
Forgotten, then thrown out?
What am I?
What am I?
[Verse 2]
You call me baby, say I'm crazy for thinking you just want me in one way
Then you always say it's the last time you’re asking
For a favour, to bail you out
And though I should say no
You know what I'll say
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause when I'm with you I get so high
And then after a while I die inside
When I realize despite my effort and tries
This is nothing, just a temporary fix
[Chorus]
What am I
Am I some standby
Emergency life line
You only choose to call
When no one else is around
What am I
Just some confetti
Here for your party
Just to be swept away
Forgotten, then thrown out?
What am I?
What am I?
[Bridge]
What's gonna happen when I call
When I call you up?
Will you be there
Like I've been there
Through the downs and the ups
I wish I could trust you
And not feel so used
I want to call you mine, just call me confused
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause when I'm with you I get so high
And then after a while I die inside
When I realize despite my effort and tries
This is nothing, just a temporary fix
[Chorus]
What am I
Am I some standby
Emergency life line
You only choose to call
When no one else is around
What am I
Just some confetti
Here for your party
Just to be swept away
Forgotten, then thrown out?
What am I?
What am I?
It looks like you're in the same situation
That you were just in yesterday
And you reach out like you always do
As you keep begging me, begging me please
And though I try not to
I give in to you
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause when I’m with you I get so high
And then after a while I die inside
When I realize despite my effort and tries
This is nothing, just a temporary fix
[Chorus]
What am I
Am I some standby
Emergency life line
You only choose to call
When no one else is around
What am I
Just some confetti
Here for your party
Just to be swept away
Forgotten, then thrown out?
What am I?
What am I?
