Lyrics

Single version

[Intro] Need you, tell me Need you, tell me [Verse 1] Panic on the brain, world has gone insane Things are starting to get heavy, mm I can't help but think I haven't felt this way Since I asked you to go steady [Pre-Chorus] Wonderin' would you be my little quarantine? Or is this the way it ends? [Chorus] 'Cause I told you my level of concern But you walked by like you never heard And you could bring down my level of concern Just need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay [Verse 2] Panic on the brain, Michael's gone insane Julie starts to make me nervous I don't really care what they would say I'm asking you to stay In my bunker underneath the surface [Pre-Chorus] Wonderin' would you be (Would you be) My little quarantine? (Quarantine) Or is this the way it ends? [Chorus] 'Cause I told you my level of concern But you walked by like you never heard And you could bring down my level of concern Just need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay, yeah [Post-Chorus] Tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay, yeah Tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay Bring down my level of concern Just need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay, yeah [Bridge] 'Cause I told you my level of concern But you walked by like you never heard You could bring down my level of concern Just need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay I need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay Need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay I need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay Need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay Need you now I need you now [Chorus] 'Cause I told you my level of concern But you walked by like you never heard And you could bring down my level of concern Just need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay, yeah [Post-Chorus] Tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay, yeah Tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay You could bring down my level of concern Just need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay, yeah [Outro] In a world where you could just lie to me (Need you) And I'd be okay, we'll be okay (Level of concern) We're gonna be okay (Just need you to tell me we're alright) Tell me we're okay, I need you Need you, tell me Need you, tell me
