[Verse 1]
Pedal, pedal on the gas
You slammed your breaks
Into an avalanche
I don't know why
I don't know why
Interstellar movie night
She came around
And left me hypnotized
I don't know why
(Anymore, anymore)
I don't know why
(Anymore, anymore)

[Chorus]
Your time's up
I hear you
I know
I can't wait
Anymore, anymore
Your time's up
I hear you
I know
I can't wait
Anymore, anymore
Ooh

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Some stories told, some stories used
So many homes for us to choose
I don't know why
I don't know why
Let them, let them take a sip
Have the underdog controlling it
I had to try
(Anymore, anymore)
I had to try
(Anymore, anymore)

[Bridge]
I don't believe
I will find peace
I'm just as peach [??? 2:33]
I'm just a wrick [??? 2:37]
The whites of your eyes
Have all turned red

[Chorus]
Your time's up
I hear you
I know
I can't wait
Anymore, anymore
Your time's up
I hear you
I know
I can't wait
Anymore, anymore

[Outro]
Anymore, anymore
(Pedal, pedal on the gas)
(You slammed your breaks)
Anymore, anymore
(Into an avalanche)
(I don't know why)
Anymore, anymore
(I had to try)
Anymore, anymore
Ooh
