  • A hundred times I've arrived
    Followed around again to win
    Needed once, running out the spaces of mine

    Standing in the garden
    Got my number from the one who says go
    Standing in the garden
    Got my number from the one who says go
    Leave the son alone

    You can care, you can stand the reason to go on
    Can't hear anyone tell you what you like
    You can rest in finding that your roof is well covered
    You can see the reason why your story is not over

    Leave the son alone
    I'm on my way, way back home
    I'm nothing
    I'm not gonna stay, stay away too long

    Leave the son alone
    I'm on my way, way back home
    I'm nothing
    I'm not gonna stay, stay away too long Writer/s: Emily Camille Kokal, Jennifer Lee Lindberg, Stella Zofia Mozgawa, Theresa Becker-Wayman
