Far away, you sit in my disgrace And you just fake your mistakes Break your Grade A's Take my safe space, drown me in your shame I fear I want you near, this time of year I'm not dying to be here All along the outside, you see in I'm not dying to be here Here again, I'm forced to play pretend And now I never fit in Always missing, feeling distant All because I won't get through (To you) I want you near, this time of year I'm not dying to be here All along the outside, you see in I'm not dying to be here I'm not dying to be here Are you on your way?
