lyrics

You knew me when I didn't know better
But now that the smoke's cleared we're fine
We were sightseers most of the time
Didn't know what was around

Took the long way around try to make it feel better
But reality she's not as kind
Things are better here down the line
Got both feet on the ground

Couldn't have known
It was gonna take so long

Silence on the big screen
I can only watch their mouths
The noise inside my head is too loud
Caught up in a slipstream
I can hardly see the shore
The noise inside my head is screaming
Why didn't you just lie

180 degree turn stumbling through the weather
You know I've done it two or three times
Things can always turn on a dime
Trying to keep my head down

You told me that the coast was so much better
But I learned to recognize the signs
We were sightseers most of the time
Didn't know what was around

Couldn't have known
It was gonna take so long

Silence on the big screen
I can only watch their mouths
The noise inside my head is too loud
Caught up in a slipstream
I can hardly see the shore
The noise inside my head is screaming
Why didn't you just lie

Screaming why
Didn't you just lie
