lyrics

Real is so rare, it's rare we get real, yeah
We barely think, yeah we barely feel
And in certain situations we just want it all to stop

When you can't feel your face, you can't feel your toes,
And you don't dare drive, 'cause there's ice on the road
You better be ready when the penny drops
(Penny drops, penny drops)

'Cause it will be falling
You can't stop gravity
And there's no stalling, oh
When you reach your destiny
And it goes fast like hyperspeed,
Energy accelerating dissipating towards entropy
So fast you can't see it,
Baby believe it,
It's gettin' to you like it's getting to me,
(And we will be falling when the penny drops)
And we better be ready when the penny drops
(Penny drops, penny drops)

Nothing is perfect, so nothing is wrong
If you're not feeling perfect, you gotta stay strong
In certain situations, we're just trynna beat the clock
(Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock)

When you're feeling alone and you fear for your health
'Cause there's no one around to blame but yourself
You better be ready when the penny drops, oh

'Cause it will be falling, oh
You can't stop gravity
And there's no stalling, oh
When you reach your destiny
And it goes fast like hyperspeed,
Energy accelerating dissipating towards entropy
So fast you can't see it,
Baby believe it,
It's gettin' to you like it's getting to me,
(And we will be falling when the penny drops)
And we better be ready when the penny drops
(Penny drops, penny drops)

And it's ok
Not to know what to say
And it's alright
What's a day without a little night?

And it's ok
Not to know what to say
And it's alright
What's a day without a little night?

And it goes fast like hyperspeed,
Energy accelerating dissipating towards entropy
So fast you can't see it,
Baby believe it,
It's gettin' to you like it's getting to me,
And we better be ready when the penny drops
(Penny drops, penny drops)
