SEVEN SECONDS by The Band Perry Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I just need to stop right now
Think I’m really lost right now
I’m just so exhausted now
I’m feeling all this pressure now
I just wanna waste all day
Chill out and play some video games
Smoke out on my boyfriend’s couch
Sometimes I wanna just peace out, just peace out

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Seven seconds, seven seconds in heaven
Gimme seven seconds to get out of my head and
Gimme seven seconds just to find a little zen and
Gimme seven seconds, seven seconds in heaven

[Chorus]
Take me to the minute I was feeling like a star
Take me to the minute we got twisted in your car
Take me for a minute and I know we can escape
Gimme seven seconds ‘cause I need to get away
The minute that we felt like we was flying in the sky
The minute we were suiciding down Mulholland Drive
Take me to the minute when the world still had a vibe
Gimme seven seconds ‘cause I need to feel alive
[Verse 2]
Are you home tonight?
Drop out, let's watch some Walter White
Forget about the scene and then
Lay back and let the night fade in
I wanna decompress with you
I’m tired of living in a zoo
I think I’m done with all the hate
I’m thinking that the world can wait, world can wait

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Seven seconds, seven seconds in heaven
Gimme seven seconds to get out of my head and
Gimme seven seconds just to find a little zen and
Gimme seven seconds, seven seconds in heaven

[Chorus]
Take me to the minute I was feeling like a star
Take me to the minute we got twisted in your car
Take me for a minute and I know we can escape
Gimme seven seconds ‘cause I need to get away
The minute that we felt like we was flying in the sky
The minute we were suiciding down Mulholland Drive
Take me to the minute when the world still had a vibe
Gimme seven seconds ‘cause I need to feel alive
[Bridge]
Celestial beings on celestial thrones
Can one of y'all pick up your cellular phones?
Celestial beings in celestial homes
We make such a mess when you leave us alone

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Gimme seven seconds, seven seconds in heaven
Gimme seven seconds to get out of my head and
Gimme seven seconds to get a little less conscious
Seven seconds, then I’ll get back to the nonsense
Seven seconds, oh, it’s something I desire
Seven seconds, y’all, it’s something that I earned
Gimme seven seconds and I’ll find a little zen
Seven seconds, seven seconds in heaven

[Chorus]
Take me to the minute I was feeling like a star
Take me to the minute we got twisted in your car
Take me for a minute and I know we can escape
Gimme seven seconds ‘cause I need to get away
The minute that we felt like we was flying in the sky
The minute we were suiciding down Mulholland Drive
Take me to the minute when the world still had a vibe
Gimme seven seconds ‘cause I need to feel alive
[Outro]
Seven seconds
Gimme seven seconds
Seven seconds
Seven seconds, seven seconds in heaven
