lyrics

Beauty's illusion, truth is blind
One thing I knew was I'd be going somewhere
I'd travel fast and then I'd run so far

Beauty's illusion, truth is blind
One thing I knew was I'd be going somewhere
Not like I would make myself such a success
I'd travel fast and then I'd run so far
I wanted to leave almost every home
I wanted to seek out another city
A foreign thing was being comfortable
In fact I do not know what it feels like

So if you see me standing here, then please don't tell my friend
I'm tryin to hide out from his words until the glorious weekend
Oh if you see me standing here, then please don't tell my friend
I'm trying to hide out from the world until the glorious weekend

I never knew that you could be so kind
You took me in like an abandoned something
Brushed my hair sideways, put my hat back on
Over the bump I had from tipping over

Beauty's illusion, truth is blind
One thing I knew was I'd be going somewhere
Not like I would make myself a wild success
I'd travel fast and then I'd run so far
I wanted to leave almost every place
I wanted to seek out another city
One thing I hate is being comfortable
Sitting still breeds stifling feelings

If you see me standing here, then please don't tell my friend
I'm tryin to hide out from his words until the glorious weekend
And if you see me standing there, please don't tell my friend
