[Verse 1] Paranoia has been creeping in
Mixed feelings to all my friends
Maybe the change of pace is good for me
Suburban life, new routine?

[Chorus] You know I needed it
So stop shying away from it

[Verse 2] Running out of time searching for the cure
Always riding the waves
Never-ending high
Life's a drag, I'm aging years overnight
You're doing this to yourself

[Bridge] I settled with Virginia soul
The cloudy skies turned to sun
These kids get the slang I speak
I settled with Virginia soul
The cloudy skies turned to sun
These kids get the slang I speak

[Chorus] You know I needed it
So stop shying away from it
