(Intro: Kirk)
… I don’t know where to start.
We used to be so Lois & Clark.
Since when did growing up mean growing apart?
You said the levees would break if I ever opened my heart.
Well, let it flood.
(Hook: Kirk)
I’ve been running so long.
I’ve been lost for so long.
I’ve been gone for so long.
I know, I know.
There’s not much left to say.
I won’t ask you to stay.
My lonely Bee—
Our love’s a ways away, I know.
I know…
I know…
Our love’s a ways away, I know.
(Verse One)
This is for us. For everything that’ll never be.
You know I’m not ok, you see through it when I pretend to be.
Room full of enemies. Foreign girls— Geneviève’s.
Sohka’s with Saki and Czechoslovakians.
Man, they done boxed me in. Look what they got me in.
Text say’s I’m immature. Ok, I probably am.
Hoes that I’m lobbying keep fucking up my Zen.
Everything’s wrong here… just keep fucking up my head.
Overheard “love is dead… and so is God.”
I guess, I’ve always been Against All Odds.
I mean, I’ve always been a little odd.
Clark Kent, though? No, I’m more General Zod.
Not to generalize. You’s in general— lie.
They’re taking shots at me like I’m wanted dead or alive.
“It gets better in time”… I sure hope so.
She said “It’s bout time that you let all of your ghosts go.”
And I agree… it’s just not that simple.
No role models; but this bottle is quite influential.
I should pace myself. You should save yourself.
Maybe, you were right all along. And I just hate myself.
She says everything that I’m too afraid to say myself.
“You could never run far enough to escape yourself.”
“Heroik… you have a ways away to go.”
(Hook: Kirk)
I’ve been running so long.
I’ve been lost for so long.
I’ve been gone for so long.
I know, I know.
There’s not much left to say.
I won’t ask you to stay.
My lonely Bee—
Our love’s a ways away, I know.
I know…
I know…
But there’s always a way, I know.
(Outro to Fade: Kirk)
There’s always a way, I know.
There’s always a way I know.
I know.
All I do is make ex—
