Seeing myself in black and white
It seems like one eternal long fight
Against what perfect life should be
I'm backing away
Or is it just me that's able to see?
Or am I the one that's got it all wrong?
Just not able to make it make sense
So I stay on my island, behind a defense, yeah
We've come a long way
Come a long way...
Where were you when I needed
Looking away
Yeah
Seeing myself, I take it all back
Maybe there's something here that I lack
Maybe it's a missing gene, who could say?
I'm backing away
But seeing your life, I just can't connect
What it is that you're selling, I just can't detect
No over-a***ytical thoughts, please, I said
I'm running away
We've come a long way
Come a long way...
Where were you when I needed
Looking away
Yeah
If I could I'd clean the slate
I delete every word I said
But it's too late, it's all in place
Meant nothing f****** anyway
We've come a long way
Come a long way...
Where were you when I needed
Looking away
Yeah
