Lyrics
The world has shut me out If I give everything I'll lose everything Everything is about me I am the most important thing And you really haven't thought All those cyclical thoughts for a while? And as it keeps going I could never be involved I could never really see in real time I could never be involved And as it keeps on going I could avoid real time I could ignore my busy mind I could avoid contact with eyes I could avoid going outside I could avoid wasting my life I could avoid I could avoid 20 20 sight I could avoid standing in line I could avoid the 405 I could avoid coming to life I could say anything I like I could switch off whenever I like I could sleep whenever I like I could leave in the middle of the night But I'd miss it Don't miss it Don't miss it like I did And as it keeps going If there's no need for the perfect image And nothing seems that wrong Don't miss it When you know there's better conversation waiting for you at home And as it keeps on going You forget whether it was the beginning or end When you can't believe your luck You're with your friend When you get to hang out with your favourite person everyday When the dull pain goes away Don't miss it When you stop being a ghost in a shell And everybody keeps saying you look well Don't miss it Like I did Don't miss it Don't miss it like I did Like I did
