Numb & Nervous (Ft. gnash) Lyrics by Alec King

Everything’s Backwards

2020

[Chorus: gnash]
Yeah
I've been doin' my best
I'm doing everything that I can
I've been holdin' my breath
Numb like novocane
[Verse 1: Alec King]
Set that pill up on your tongue, girl, let's have a night
We been trading stories, lotta shit we have to try
Got no alibi, we really gotta acclimate
Can't do this when we pass away
Call you Eve, I'm eatin' what Adam ate
So spread your legs
Hittin' notes like Ella Mai
You lookin' like the fuckin' stars
Sit there in your prada grey
Eatin' hand rolls in Westwood
Gettin' higher than red woods
Make sure that head good, yeah
[Chorus: gnash]
Yеah
I've been doin' my best
I'm doing evеrything that I can
I've been holdin' my breath
But commitment wasn't part of the plan
And Annie, understand
I'm dying to hold your hand
I been doin' my best (Numb like novocane)
But I gotta confess
Numb like novocane
[Verse 2: Alec King]
I got girls in my phone that I never call
Numbers hit my line that I never saved
Drop 'em off, got no grip today
Torn up on a rip today
Don't need to go, tit for tat
I ain't with the shits today
I feel numb and nervous, those don't even go together
Let's make it xxx like the roman letters
I mean roman numbers
Don't kill me, didn't get the rubbers
That just makes it feel as good as we do when we takin' uppers
[Chorus: gnash, Alec King]
I've been doin' my best
I swear I'm doing everything that I can
I've been holdin' my breath
But commitment wasn't part of the plan
And Annie, understand
I'm dying to hold your hand
I been doin' my best (Numb like novocane)
But I gotta confess
(Numb like novocane)
[Verse 3: gnash]
I've been making my bed
And checking my texts
And leaving everybody on read
I won't admit that you're next to get it off of my chest
But if I had to make a bet I'd say yes
So would you wait for me
Just a little now to work it out?
Numb and nervous, and I know you don't deserve this
I'm not hurting you on purpose but I'm learning, yeah
[Bridge: Alec King]
(God damn)
I thought I wasn't high enough and now I'm too high
I really had to smoke the rest, a metaphor for who's life, my life
I wanna pop off, I don't want the lime light
Everything is backwards, like I don't got the time right
Everything, everything, everything, everything
I'm in my head too much, I'm seein' red too much
I want a vegan girl and watch her eat the world
I'm pescatarian, I wanna eat her pearl
She my blue fin, she on a juice cleanse
The second you in, she quickly deucin'
We cause a nuisance, I'm lovin' too quick
I'm fallin', trust me, and now my shoes muddy
She writin' all over my dirty vans
I lay the law down and I let my attorney dance
I got so much love for my early fans
"Numb & Nervous" makes it really hard to understand
(Understand, understand, understand, understand, understand, understand)
Numb like novocane
[Chorus: gnash]
I've been doin' my best
I'm doing everything that I can
I've been holdin' my breath
But commitment wasn't part of the plan
And Annie, understand
I'm dying to hold your hand
I been doin' my best (Numb like novocane)
But I gotta confess
Numb like novocane
