lyrics

hey, it’s me
I’m coming back
don't wanna talk about it
when we’re done I’ll call a cab
no need to get excited

on the ground I’m feeling like I can’t get lower
tried so hard believing that I’d be much higher
on my way to outer space

don’t wait, forever’s long enough

back and forth and back again
caught in an endless circle
hope I’ll see a different end
lights flashing red and purple

tripping over my shoes without any laces
sticks of gum without aluminum papers
on my way back home again

losing my way again, eyes will never mend
left with nothing
