lyrics

Picked apart,
I found a sort of empty glee inside of me
Decided then
To throw it to the wind
And a smile widened

I took it as my own
I tried to take it home
But I'm constantly reminded
I can't own the horizon

Look out for your feet
They might be in concrete
If they feel like moving on
Kick me loose and let's get gone
Get gone

Contemplating a stranger's face
Picking out the common traits
I can't look away
I'm in there somewhere
I'm in there somewhere

Nice, nice, so very nice, nice
So very nice
Strangers in the same device

There I am
There I am

Let's forget our fears
And take to the streets
I know it's just the world we settled on
To settle down
It isn't real.

Oh, no.
