Don't keep your voice down
No one's left sleeping
Everyone's awake to hear you talk
There's no more static
Here's the place where we say anythig we want to
Let's waste another year?
'Cause you banked on this being the one you loved til you stop
and you listen
and you change your speed til you caught up with me

Don't build me up
Don't drag me down
I made you out to be a millionaire.

You got so accustomed
to turning over your last card
to find me on the same page as you
It's not much worse than
Drinking down your last drink
calling for the tab to make you clear
let's waste another year,
because what's so near is much closer than you think
and you listen
and you change your speed til you caught up with me

Don't build me up
Don't drag me down
I made you out to be a millionaire.
