Lyrics of Tally by twenty one pilots
[Verse 1]
I Lost My Rank And Title
I Turned My Back On It
Sold It All At A Discount (Yeah, Yeah)
I Wanted To Progress Things
I Wanted My Soul Set Free
Lost It All At A Discount (Yeah, Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
You And I Both Know That’s How The Story Goes
We’ve Seen It Several Times (Yeah, Yeah)
It’s Kinda Hard To Know, Is There’s A Point At All?
Or Should We Cut The Line?
[Chorus]
You Want A Tally, I Lost The Count
You Want To Love Me, I’ll Let You Down
Still Now, You Believe In Me Somehow
When I Replay It In My Mind
I See Your Heartbreak Every Time
Still Now, You Believe In Me Somehow
[Post-Chorus]
You Believe In Me Somehow
You Believe In Me Somehow
[Verse 2]
I Liken Our Fight To Two Lightning Strikes Strike On Cue
Like Right When A Storm Hits, Sights Set (Yeah, Yeah)
Right Set, Circumstantial Proof
You Should Go Your Way, I Should Try Mine
Even Though We Both Know
We Should Just Cut The Line (Yeah, Yeah)
[Chorus]
You Want A Tally, I Lost The Count
You Want To Love Me, I’ll Let You Down
Still Now, You Believe In Me Somehow
When I Replay It In My Mind
I See Your Heartbreak Every Time
Still Now, You Believe In Me Somehow
[Post-Chorus]
Somehow, Somehow (Ooh, Ooh)
You Believe In Me Somehow
Ooh
[Bridge]
Ooh, Somehow I Figured You Were Keeping Track Of Every Time
Just Figured You Were Keeping Track Of Every Time
I Let You Down, I Breached Your Trust, I Let You Down
Just Figured You Were Keeping Track Of Every Time
You Were Keeping Track
[Chorus]
You Want A Tally, I Lost The Count (You Want A Tally)
You Want To Love Me (You Want To Love Me), I’ll Let You Down
Still Now (Still Now), You Believe In Me Somehow (You Believe In Me Somehow)
When I Replay It In My Mind (When I Replay It)
I See Your Heartbreak Every Time (I See Your Heartbreak)
Still Now (Still Now), You Believe In Me Somehow
[Outro]
Yeah, Yeah
