lyrics

Hey, where are you headed
Can I hitch a ride
Wait, let me get this
I’m on your side
Please tell me your weakness
I’ll watch over it for you
There’s no need to check in later
I know you have things to attend to

A familiar scene, a hit and run
Count another one
It doesn’t use its given name
Changes where it comes from
It bites at the corners of
The people and the self you love
By the time you know and call it in
It’s already wheels up

Started out with something pure
But it slowly degraded to the state it’s in now
Look at me getting myself down
You'd think I’d have learned by now

A familiar scene, a hit and run
Count another one
It doesn’t use its given name
Changes where it comes from
It bites at the corners of
The people and the self I love
By the time you know and call it in
It’s already wheels up

I can’t get myself up from the chair
The fabric’s faded and the cushion’s bare
The place called home is somewhere else
It left behind its hollow shell
I know my mind plays tricks on me
Slowly learning about entropy
Bring me back to the ground
And hope I come around

It’s a familiar scene
