Don't Miss It

Lyrics

The world has shut me out
 ♪
 If I give everything I'll lose everything
 ♪
 Everything is about me
 ♪
 I am the most important thing
 ♪
 And you really haven't thought
 All those cyclical thoughts for a while?
 ♪
 And as it keeps going
 I could never be involved
 I could never really see in real time
 I could never be involved
 And as it keeps on going
 I could avoid real time
 I could ignore my busy mind
 I could avoid contact with eyes
 I could avoid going outside
 I could avoid wasting my life
 I could avoid
 I could avoid 20 20 sight
 I could avoid standing in line
 I could avoid the 405
 I could avoid coming to life
 I could say anything I like
 I could switch off whenever I like
 I could sleep whenever I like
 I could leave in the middle of the night
 
 But I'd miss it
 Don't miss it
 Don't miss it like I did
 ♪
 And as it keeps going
 If there's no need for the perfect image
 And nothing seems that wrong
 Don't miss it
 When you know there's better conversation waiting for you at home
 ♪
 And as it keeps on going
 You forget whether it was the beginning or end
 When you can't believe your luck
 You're with your friend
 When you get to hang out with your favourite person everyday
 When the dull pain goes away
 Don't miss it
 When you stop being a ghost in a shell
 And everybody keeps saying you look well
 Don't miss it
 Like I did
 Don't miss it
 ♪
 Don't miss it like I did
 ♪
 Like I did
 
 The world has shut me out
