Well now I see they're screaming harder - and they're throwing things
|
but I don't need to follow - I don't want to follow
|
I'm trying to get hollow - trying to get hollow
|
is there something I can borrow - just until tomorrow
|
|
Well now I see they're getting lamer to the point of lying down
|
the beat is getting softer - the heat is getting colder
|
the light is getting dim - the substance getting thinner
|
but I'm still trying to grasp it - they give me meals to choke on
|
|
And now you hold his hand
|
and now he understands
|
but I don't have to face it - I don't have to chase shit
|
'cause I just wanna see through - I want to embrace you
|
|
Get back where you belong at university
|
or try to do it our way - try to make it this way
|
but I don't need to listen - I'll be home for Christmas
|
I'll see you when it's raining - society is draining
|
|
You'll be up and you'll be down in a matter of minutes
|
I've tried run the distance
|
tried and get the high fence
|
but I've never been a sportsman
|
got picked last when they picked teams
|
I'm the worst kind of amateur
|
the kind which never wins the war
|
though I had the best of teachers
|
they called me the seeker
|
|
And now you...
|
and now you hold his hand
|
and now he understands
|
but I don't have to face it - I don't have to chase shit
|
|
'Cause I just wanna see through - I want to embrace you
|
I just wanna see through - I want to embrace you
|
oh oh oh! - I just wanna see through - I want to embrace you
|
you...
|
