lyrics

I wanna fast forward
Open the book and take a look, past the foreword
We only see four letter words
and I wanna go where the animal is unheard

If i could just rewind,
I would wanna go back to the time, when we had time,
just to fly around each other, like a couple butterflies –
Brown eyes, you're the monarch of my mind
I think you're the queen of my thoughts
I’m waking up thinking about what does
a monkey ever really want
I feel like a wolf in the back of the pack
Behind time, never in front
Rat race, I'm last and you're late

Do you ever wanna go
somewhere where no one knows that we are animals?
And do you know how sad I am
when a whole human breaks away the better half?
With that half glass, you won’t last

I think I’m picking up your scent
I sent a letter just to feel like
a person not an insect
If Samsa had a Samsung,
he probably would’ve called his mom,
but something in the water said no

We’re the only species that stares into a TV
and knows how we compound our sediment
When you broke the mirror, did you see yourself clearer,
and know now is the time to look around?

We’re the only species that stares into a TV
and knows how we compound our sediment
When you broke the mirror, did you see yourself clearer,
and know now is the time...?

Do you ever wanna go
somewhere where no one knows that we are animals?
And do you know how sad I am
when a whole human breaks away the better half?
With that half glass, you won’t last
