Tally

Tally
[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 just 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 die
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
En 'Tally' de Twenty One Pilots, el narrador reflexiona sobre la pérdida de su posición y estatus, y cómo ha sacrificado todo por un cambio. A pesar de sentirse desanimado, sigue adelante con una sensación de liberación, aunque la canción nos recuerda que a menudo repetimos patrones conocidos en nuestras vidas...
