And I recall
Before the skies were
Strapped to the detonators
Before the lights all
Dimmed in their simulators
Before I saw them all as cheap imitators
They said:
"Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to choose
Just know I will never ever lose
Or even burn up
That is impossible
I followed all the rules"
"But give me all the tools
And tell me what to use
And I will know exactly what to do
That's what I'm here for
Everything's possible
And I just can't get enough!"
And now I'm here
And they're all back where they're supposed to be
I know they fail to see the irony
As they repeat it all around
I love the way they fold around you
I love the way you're understood
I know I'll never get inside you
I know I'll never get it through
I love the way they fold around you
I love the way you prove me right
And now I'm gone
So don't remind me
To look back
Before the skies were
Strapped to the detonators
Before the lights all
Dimmed in their simulators
Before I saw them all as cheap imitators
They said:
"Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to choose
Just know I will never ever lose
Or even burn up
That is impossible
I followed all the rules"
"But give me all the tools
And tell me what to use
And I will know exactly what to do
That's what I'm here for
Everything's possible
And I just can't get enough!"
And now I'm here
And they're all back where they're supposed to be
I know they fail to see the irony
As they repeat it all around
I love the way they fold around you
I love the way you're understood
I know I'll never get inside you
I know I'll never get it through
I love the way they fold around you
I love the way you prove me right
And now I'm gone
So don't remind me
To look back
