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-analytical 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 fucking anyway We've come a long way Come a long way... Where were you when I needed Looking away Yeah
