Look at You Now

You go from a local to a tourist in one afternoon
You lose your custody of a ten foot square room
The whole thing fits in the trunk of your car
You convince yourself that you're greater than the sum of your parts

You go from a local to a tourist in one afternoon
You look up and see the sky is full of vultures, circling you
Try as you might you're just skin and bone
Waiting for someone to swallow you whole

But look at you now, keeping it together
Look at you now, lonelier than ever
Look at you now, you could be better
But look at you now, it won't be this way forever

You're used to being the new kid on every block
They try to catch you with honey and vinegar, but you never stuck
You slip right thru the cracks in the street
Promise to tell yourself goodbye if you ever get a chance to meet

You're used to being the new kid on every block
They tried to love you but they never really did
And you know it's your fault
Nowhere you go ever feels like home
'cause you run like you're scared someone will finally keep up

Look at you now, keeping it together
Look at you now, lonelier than ever
Look at you now, you could be better
But look at you now, it won't be this way forever

It won't be this way forever
You're just a kid you didn't know
One day you won't even remember
The nostalgia of it all

Forget there's something so familiar
That keeps you cornered by the pain
Repeat it over and over
Expecting different from the same

Look at you now, keeping it together
Look at you now, lonelier than ever
Look at you now, you could be better
But look at you now, it won't be this way forever
