Lyrics

[Chorus]
Well, someone asked me how I've been
Well, what's the worst I could say?
It's true, well, it's true
That I'm not happy where I've been
But what's worse is it could've been you
[Verse 1]
Well, why don't we start with context?
I didn't know what I was waiting for
Absence or presence, what are neighbours for?
A home can be hard to keep
Please give me understanding
Understanding
If I make it back to Setagaya City
'Cause I need to find that joy I've known
That's just the way it goes
[Chorus]
Well, someone asked me how I've been
Well, what's the worst I could say?
It's true, well, it's true
Is that the way it goes?
That I'm not happy where I've been
But what's worse is it could've been you
It could've been you
Is that the way it goes?
[Verse 2]
Now I'm holding both my passports
Can someone tell me what my name is for?
At the very least, tell me what this shame is for
This peace can be hard to keep
Why don't I understand it?
Understand it
Is this the moment that my face is for?
I'm finally finding the fence I'm on
This view must be hard to beat, uh
[Chorus]
Someone asked me how I've been
Well, what's the worst I could say?
It's true, well, it's true
Is that the way it goes?
That I'm not happy where I've been
But what's worse is it could've been you
It could've been you
Is that the way it goes?
