VERSE 1In my freshman year of collegeI took Psychology 301The theory of selective attentionAs an evolutionary mechanismWe tune out the world around usWhen we’re struggling to surviveTo focus on the critical dataThat’ll help us stay alivePRECHORUSBefore you it was fight or flightI couldn’t catch a breathDarling you showed me how much more I’d findIf I’d only stop to restCHORUSAnd I was born and raised in LAI’m no stranger to the 405But when we’re racing down the freewayIt’s like seeing this city for the first timeDid you tint my sight with rosy inkOr has the sunrise always been this pink, ohVERSE 2It’s like I’ve been awakened Yet somehow deep asleepA peculiar combinationYou give me euphoric peaceREPEAT PRECHORUS + CHORUSBRIDGELiving is just a game focusReality’s just what you noticeIsn’t it strange that big emotionsAre buried inside the tiniest momentsREPEAT CHORUS
