What Are You (Wow)

I'm pretty good at letting my imagination get ahead of me

I didn't quite realize I was watching you become a memory

I was going nowhere, and I hoped you'd come with

Said goodbye instead

Yeah, it was so clear, you were above this

What could I have said?

Yeah, you've been to places I could only think about

And I'm hoping maybe you might tell me what you found

'Cause I tried to run, but I could never get out

What are you that I'm not?

Wow

It always seemed you had a little something extra than the rest of us

And I always wondered how it felt to have your mind working the way it does, yeah

Oh, departed, you went out eastwards

Where are you right now?

'Cause I'm still regarding our conversations

They helped me find stuff out

And maybe, everything I felt lately

Inherited its framing from knowing you as well

See, I could never truly reply to

Things you opened my eyes to

Helped me out of my shell

Yeah, you've been to places I could only think about

And I'm hoping maybe you might tell me what you found

'Cause I tried to run, but I could never get out

What are you that I'm not?

Wow

And maybe, everything I felt lately

Inherited its framing from knowing you as well

See, I could never truly reply to

Things you opened my eyes to

Helped me out of my shell

You helped me out of my shell

You helped me out of my shell

You left me here as well, though

Where the fuck did you go?

Well, I guess it never mattered half as much to you as what it did to me

It's not a gift to come to knowledge of a cruel and cold disparity, like that

With time, resentment warped my opinion of you, what does that say of me?

When really, you were just the first person to treat me with some honesty

It's just how you are

And maybe that's why

You've been to places I could only think about

I'm hoping maybe you might tell me what you found

'Cause I tried to run, but I could never get out

What are you that I'm not?

Wow, wow, wow

Yeah, where the fuck did you go?

Yeah, where the fuck did you go?

And maybe, everything I felt lately

Inherited its framing from knowing you as well

See, I could never truly reply to

Things you opened my eyes to

Helped me out of my shell (llehs)
