Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In a far and distant galaxy
Inside my telescope I see
A pair of eyes peer back at me
He walks and talks and looks like me
[Verse 2]
Sits around inside his house
From room to room, he moves about
Fills his life with pointless things
And wonders how it all turns out
[Verse 3]
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Safe to say that
[Verse 4]
I don't think you understand
There's nowhere left to turn
Walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well spent
Or time I've wasted
Don't waste it
[Verse 5]
Afraid of what the truth might bring
He locks his doors and never leaves
Desperately searching for signs
Too terrified to find a thing
[Verse 6]
He battens all the hatches down
And wonders why he hears no sound
Frantically searching his dreams
He wonders what it's all about
[Verse 7]
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
It's safe to say that
[Verse 8]
I don't think you understand
There's nowhere left to turn
The walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well spent
Or time I've wasted
[Verse 9]
Here in my mind, losing my friends
Fall on my face, do it again
You say, how do you do?
Man, how 'bout you?
Man, how 'bout you?
[Verse 10]
To be free, to be sold
To be killed, to be saved
In my head, I'm alone
I'm not dead, I'm ashamed
[Verse 11]
Just like you, I've been trying to escape
In my bones, I feel cold
I give thanks to the Lord
[Verse 12]
In the street, in the street
Let me go, let me be
I don't need to be here, I'm alone
Can't you see? Can't you see?
[Verse 13]
I don't think you understand
There's nowhere left to turn
These walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well spent
Or time I've wasted
Don't waste it
