I’m about to crash into the water
Gonna take you with me
I’m high voltage, self-destructive
End it all so legendary
I’m about to crash into the water
Gonna take you with me
I’m high voltage, self-destructive
End it all so legendary
(Uh)
Overloading when I’m looking in the mirror, uh (Uh)
Feel myself, I’m looking way better than ever, uh (Uh)
Overloading when I’m looking in the mirror
I’m about to crash, I’m about to crash
I’m about to crash, I’m about to crash
I’m about to crash
I’m about to crash into the water
Gonna take you with me
I’m high voltage, self-destructive
End it all so legendary
I’m about to crash into the water
Gonna take you with me
I’m high voltage, self-destructive
End it all so legendary
I don’t know if I’ll be coming back to life again (Uh)
All or nothing, burn in hell or go up heaven sent, yeah (Uh)
Wheels up on the curb side, put it in speed drive
I’m about to crash, I’m about to crash
I’m about to crash, I’m about to crash
I’m about to crash
I’m about to crash into the water
Gonna take you with me
I’m high voltage, self-destructive
End it all so legendary
I’m about to crash into the water
Gonna take you with me
I’m high voltage, self-destructive
End it all so legendary
I’m about to, I’m about to crash
Come watch me, baby
I’m about to, I’m about to, I’m about to crash
Come watch me burn it all down
I’m about to, I’m about to crash
Into the water take you with me
I’m high voltage, self-destructive, end it all so legendary

Through vivid imagery and bold declarations, Charli XCX invites listeners to witness, and perhaps join, her explosive journey toward self-reinvention.
