Lyrics

0:08Go on parade and fade

0:11Hit the scene in slow

0:16Spending all your time with some girl

0:21You'll never get to know

0:26Wound up tight

0:30Dressed all in white

0:32Some torment saint

0:37Blowing out to drift

0:43Leave you even if

0:50You live up in your head

0:52Scared of every little noise

0:58Someone's always breaking in accidentally

1:03Using nothing but their voice

1:08Shrill and small

1:12Echo down the hall

1:15Repeating pet names

1:19Seeing it in your eyes

1:25You're only passing by

1:36Go by

1:39Go by

1:49Go by

1:52Go by

2:02Someone's in the way

2:04Pretty words and inside slurs

2:10All the things they have to say

2:13To perform the work that they've rehearsed

2:20It's a waste of time

2:24I put it behind me once and for all

2:30And let the time decline

2:37If the problem wasn't mine

2:48Go by

2:51Go by

3:01Go by

3:04Go by

3:14Go by

3:17Go by

3:28Go by

3:31Go by

Go on parade and fade
Hit the scene in slow
Spending all your time with some girl
You'll never get to know
Wound up tight
Dressed all in white
Some torment saint
Blowing out to drift
Leave you even if
You live up in your head
Scared of every little noise
Someone's always breaking in accidentally
Using nothing but their voice
Shrill and small
Echo down the hall
Repeating pet names
Seeing it in your eyes
You're only passing by
Go by
Go by
Go by
Go by
Someone's in the way
Pretty words and inside slurs
All the things they have to say
To perform the work that they've rehearsed
It's a waste of time
I put it behind me once and for all
And let the time decline
If the problem wasn't mine
Go by
Go by
Go by
Go by
Go by
Go by
Go by
Go by
