brianne is hearing from matt about his views on life. she tells him she does not listen to fools. they both sing about the feeling of being overwhelmed and drowning in life. they need a life preserver... they need life support and someone has unplugged the machine... they also talk about feeling lost in the bridge and search for answers and reasons while flirting with each other... she has the upper hand in this story and she is aware of it but also knows they are both just growing up...

Lyrics
hey brianne
with your good strong hands
what'ch you doing with your life
cause i've been telling you
and yes it's true
you accidentally turned to black and white
yes you did you know you said you did you know you did it
hey there matt
i know where it's at
and i don't take advice from fools
cause i've been down and i've been up
and one thing seems to be real clear
you remind me of a hamster on a wheel
i need a life preserver
i think i'm drowning here
please plug the life support in
i'm almost out of air
so you pick me up
and you know i'm dumb
but you don't want me to change
and i'm o.k. with that
because you're someone
i accidentally feel in love with today
yes you are you know you said you are you know you are and
hey there matt
i know where it's at
and i don't take advice from you
cause i've been down and i've been up
and one thing seems to be real clear
you remind me of a hamster on a wheel
i need a life preserver
i think i'm drowning here
please plug the life support in
i'm almost out of air
i'm running out of paint
the walls are all empty and it's scaring me
and i don't know where i would rather be
cause i've been down and i've been up and one thing seems to be real clear
you remind me of a hamster on a wheel
i need a life preserver
i think i'm drowning here
please plug the life support in
i'm almost out of air
