Lyrics
There was a Chinese restaurant where we would go when I was a kid
And the paper placemat told me
That being born in 1988
Meant that I was confident
And prone to good fortune
The year of the dragon
It was all gonna happen
And there was this French film that I saw once on a plane
And the main character became my idol
She had a way about her that made me believe
Life should always be the play, not the recital
Now I’m older than she was then
And it’s all so different
When you don’t know where else to go
You go back to where you came from
All is not lost in the belly of the beast
Holding the past like a rope
And it pulls me back to square one
Never more scared but I never felt more free
The memories cling to me like a wet bathing suit
Kinda cold I wanna peel them off my body
I cut my hair and I let all my anger grow
I walked naked through a town that didn’t want me
Yeah I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine
It’s gonna be different this time
When you don’t know where else to go
You go back to where you came from
All is not lost in the belly of the beast
Holding the past like a rope
And it pulls me back to square one
Never more scared but I never felt more free
Leave it to me to be the master of my fate
‘Til the brakes give out and no one’s riding shotgun
When you don’t know where else to go
You go back to where you came from
All is not lost in the belly of the beast
Holding the past like a rope
And it pulls me back to square one
Never more scared but I never felt more free
