Kick drum bangin' in your chest
And a snare beat to compliment the bass
Hi-hat to keep you in lock-step
But you still can't stay in the pocket
When the music begins to play
It's like the groove keeps slippin' away
Like the blind bein' led by the lost
Cut the track let's go from the top
I just wanna hear the music play
The whole composition
Strike up the (plan to get away?)
But nobody's listening
I feel like I'm stuck in a loop with you
Watchin' you play on like you do
Ah, I heard it yesterday
It's the same story I heard today
I really wanna skip right to the end
But you wanna take it from the top again
Don't play the cycle, play your recital
If I subtract, then yours is feedback
You say you play a beautiful melody
Rippin' up and down on the broken strings
Even your mama thinks it would be best
If you put that old thing to rest
'Cause everybody's weary of the mistakes played on the beat
Proudly displayed like a masterpiece
'Cause a song's not a song with no tune
And everybody hears it but you, oh
I just wanna hear the music play
The whole composition
Strike up the (plan to get away?)
But nobody's listening
I feel like I'm stuck in a loop with you
Watchin' you play on like you do
Ah, I heard it yesterday
It's the same story I heard today
I really wanna skip right to the end
But you wanna take it from the top again
Don't play the cycle, play your recital
If I subtract, then yours is feedback
Hey, you in the mirror
Pointing the finger
I'm talking to you
Hey, yeah you in the mirror, stop pointing the finger
'Cause the blame is on you
I feel like I'm stuck in a loop with you
Watchin' you play on like you do
Ah, I heard it yesterday
It's the same story I heard today
I really wanna skip right to the end
But you wanna take it from the top again
Don't play the cycle, play your recital
If I subtract, then yours is feedback
I just wanna hear the music play
The whole composition
Strike up the (plan to get away?)
But nobody's listening
Feedback, feedback, feedback, feedback
