Lyrics

[00:08.330] Go on parade and fade
[00:12.000] Hit the scene and slow
[00:16.750] Spending all your time with some girl
[00:21.370] You'll never get to know
[00:26.740] Wound up tight
[00:30.550] Dressed all in white
[00:32.710] Some torn main sail
[00:37.600] Blowing out to drift
[00:43.560] Leave you even if
[00:50.500] You live up in your head
[00:52.780] Scared of every little noise
[00:58.190] Someone's always breaking in accidentally
[01:02.910] Using nothing but their voice
[01:08.710] Shrill and small
[01:12.580] Echo down the hall
[01:15.500] Repeating pet names
[01:19.600] See it in your eyes
[01:25.550] You're only passing by
[01:36.100] Go by, go by
[01:49.730] Go by, go by
[02:02.130] Someone's in the way
[02:04.630] Of pretty words and inside slurs
[02:10.020] All the things they have to say to perform
[02:15.560] The work that they've rehearsed
[02:20.030] It's a waste of time
[02:24.380] I'd put it behind me once and for all
[02:30.750] And let the hype decline
[02:36.930] If the problem wasn't mine
[02:47.940] Go by, go by
