Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes it feels like it's a dream
Everything is not as it seems
If only I could find a pair of glasses
To help me see the ones that who truly be
They live and we sleep
Pray my days will never hit one
[Verse 2]
Take me far away from the sun
If only I could find a way through space-time
Back to when I was happy being me
They live and we—
[Verse 3]
I can hear the bells ringing, reminding us why
We're still here singing, it's Father Time
We're stuck in the matrix
Living a lie
I'm not afraid to die
[Verse 4]
Take me back to 2014
Saw a pic this morning
Far along the journey
The future was alluring
[Verse 5]
On the other side of TVs
Hoping that they see me
But they hardly see me
At least, that's how I see things
[Verse 6]
Isn't it funny how the time flies?
Like a G5 jet in turbulence
But we gonna make it home tonight, alright, alright
Alright, alright
[Verse 7]
My misery is boring
Finally feel confident
Yes, that's an accomplishment
Many more commas to get
[Verse 8]
I can hear the bells ringing, reminding us why
We're still here singing, it's Father Time
We're stuck in the matrix
Living a lie
I'm not afraid to die
[Verse 9]
You know it's Stockholm, long roads, on go
You can't even reach me
Just know whenever you need me, we'll figure it out
Look up and you'll see me, and I'll be around
'Cause when I'm home, I'm lost, let's go
Make it look easy
Oh, take it easy on me
It's still my city, it's still my city
