  • Time is never far away for you
    You feel like something in your head
    Is dead inside, for real
    Well, everybody's depressed
    We're running on a wheel
    I'm here to fight your corner
    My heart is open

    (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
    I drove such a long, long way here
    (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
    Your indifference won't make me disappear
    (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
    And surely, you'll wake up in yourself
    (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
    But you can't blame nobody else

    (Ba-da-da-da, da)

    And time will take you far away, my love
    And feel the everlasting now, eternity is real
    The sun will leave the sky and all the stars reveal
    So close your eyes forever, again, again, again

    (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
    I've driven such a long, long way here
    (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
    Your indifference won't make me disappear
    (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
    And surely, you'll wake up in yourself
    (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
    And know that you can't blame nobody else

    I'm submitting to the final frame
    Long, long waiting for the long, lost game (blame nobody else)
    Tired of living in a photograph (blame nobody else)
    Same old rattle in the same old laugh
    I'm submitting to the final frame
    Long, long waiting for the long, lost game
    Tired of living in a photograph
    Same old rattle in the same old laugh
    I'm submitting to the final frame
    Long, long waiting for the long, lost game
    Tired of living in a photograph
    Same old rattle in the same old laugh

    (I'm submitting to the final refrain) if you're a star
    (Long, long waiting for the long, lost game) shine on me
    (Tired of living in a photograph) if you're not
    (Same old rattle in the same old laugh) let me be
    If you're a star, shine on me
    If you're not, let me be Writer/s: Carlos O'Connell, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan III, Elysian Collective, Grian Chatten, Laura Moody, Richard Jones, Tom Coll
