  • I don't want you to know
    I took it with me
    But when things are thrown away like they are daily
    Time passes in the constant state
    So if that is how it is

    I don't wanna be a star
    But a stone on the shore
    Long door, frame the wall
    When everything's overgrown

    But what she really really wanted was my rights in the rooms
    And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along

    And I don't want you to know
    I took it with me
    But when things are thrown away like they are daily
    Time passes in the constant state
    So if that is how it is

    I don't wanna be a star
    But a stone on the shore
    Long door, frame the wall
    When everything's overgrown

    But what she really really wanted was my rights in the rooms
    And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along

    And I don't want you to know
    I took it with me
    But when things are thrown away like they are daily
    Time passes in the constant state
    So if that is how it is

    I don't wanna be a star
    But a stone on the shore
    Long door, frame the wall
    When everything's overgrown

    But what she really really wanted was my rights in the rooms
    And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along

    And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along
    And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along

    And I don't want you to know
    I took it with me
    But when things are thrown away like they are daily
    Time passes in the constant state
    Time passes in the constant state
    Time passes in the constant state
    Time passes in the constant state Writer/s: JAMES BLAKE LITHERLAND
