Lyrics:

Got bombs that are falling on my mind
I'm getting used to the noise and light
And light
And light
Find a new dream
God, I never wanna shut my eyes
'Cause I'm tired of passing like a ghost through my life

Do you remember being young and eager?
My heart was buzzing like a wire
Give me a reason to connect, be nearer
I wanna make you feel alive

I think I'm ready to be here
I wanna be found
I think I'm ready to be here
Tie me down
Tie me down

Goddamn, I made a mess of my mind
I'm getting used to the noise and light
And light
And light
I need an anchor
God, I wanna be satisfied
'Cause I'm tired of feeling like a shadow in my life

Do you remember being sharp and needy?
My heart was hungry like a fire
Tell me that you're still burning up and greedy
I want you to make me feel alive

I think I'm ready to be here
I wanna be found
I think I'm ready to be here
Tie me down
Tie me down

Get ready, get ready
Are you ready? Get ready
Get ready, get ready
Get ready, get ready
