[Verse 1]
How did I get here?
And what have I done?
It's like I've been sleeping for two years
And I'm just waking up
Like I'm coming out of a blackout
Like I didn't see you 'til right now
I look around and I'm feeling like
I built a prison and put myself in it

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ahh, ahh)
I don't wanna go through the motions
(Ahh, ahh)
No, I don't wanna

[Chorus]
I can't stand it when you touch me like that
'Cause it just reminds me of the nights that I spent
Telling myself it was fine
But now I'm over that
I think it's better if we just pretend
We're just strangers again

[Verse 2]
Where do I go now?
And where do I start?
I don’t wanna pick up the pieces
I just wanna watch it all fall apart, fall apart
Like it should, fall apart, like I said I would
I wanted out, but you held me down
And fed me the lies I told to myself

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ahh, ahh)
I don't wanna go through the motions
(Ahh, ahh)
No, I don't wanna

[Chorus]
I can't stand it when you touch me like that
'Cause it just reminds me of the nights that I spent
Telling myself it was fine
But now I'm over that
I think it's better if we just pretend
We're just strangers again

[Bridge]
We had what we had but it's done
Now I'm over it
Held on for too long when I should’ve let go of it
And I know it was wrong but I tried to keep hold of it
It was wrong, it was wrong, it was wrong

[Chorus]
I can't stand it when you touch me like that
'Cause it just reminds me of the nights that I spent
Telling myself it was fine
But now I'm over that
I think it's better if we just pretend
We're just strangers again
I can't stand it when you touch me like that
'Cause it just reminds me of the nights that I spent
Telling myself it was fine
But now I'm over that
I think it's better if we just pretend
We're just strangers again

Against the Current is a Pop-Rock band from Poughkeepsie, New York, that formed in 2011. It consists of lead singer Chrissy Costanza, guitarist/backing vocalist Dan Gow, and drummer Will Ferri.

Initally, they began as a cover band, gaining popularity on YouTube. They set to release a debut EP, Infinity and an acoustic EP containing the same songs. After its unexpected success, the band applied the same formula; they released their EP Gravity and they followed it with an acoustic session with the same songs.

Against the Current’s sound fell more on the pop side of the spectrum when they were signed to Fueled By Ramen in 2015 and released their debut full album In Our Bones.
