Reflector

Got Holy water on your face
Grew so bold in the world's embrace
Got set free and found the ocean deeper
than you thought it was

Bitter scares on the front page
Names and shaming and useless rage
What can do I but check the score before
I'm out the front door

And I thought I'd know more by now
When does it slow down

And I thought I'd have done more by now
When does it work out

I sowed some words that didn't grow
So they forgot me some time ago
Now I'll just keep running around
'til I find what I need to know

As I'm growing I seem to know less
Or there's more I know that I don't know yet
But if I were to guess most would confess
theyre just running around in the same old mess

And I thought I'd know more by now
When does it slow down

And I thought I'd have done more by now
When does it work out

Take a breath it's gone too fast
Look at all these people pass
Sun burnt faces on the big screen
of the pretty past

Was it all the words they said?
Replayed them slow to ease my head
Got a million moments and I play them
from my little bed

And I thought I'd know more by now
When does it slow down

And I thought I'd have done more by now
When does it work out
