I know you miss me baby
Time takes its toll
I know it drives you crazy
You want control, oh
(You'll never get it)
If you miss me baby
I'm still here online
And i will never look in your eyes
But you can look in mine
But you can never go back,
Never go back back
You can never repeat
Never re-p-peat
You can never undo
Never undo do
What you did to me
(You'll never get it)
And you can never go back,
Never go back back
You can never repeat
Never re-p-peat
But you can scroll back through my feed
Pretend you're in a time machine
(You'll never get it)
I can watch you watching
Turn your camera on
A red light starts flashing
To the beat of your favourite song
(And it goes like)
If you miss me baby
You can see me on tv
And I will never look for you
But you can look for me, endlessly
But you can never go back,
Never go back back
You can never repeat
Never re-p-peat
You can never undo
Never undo do
What you did to me
(You'll never get it)
And you can never go back,
Never go back back
You can never repeat
Never re-p-peat
But you can scroll back through my feed
Pretend you're in a time machine
Time machine
You can never go back
back back back back
Time machine
You can never go back
back back back back x2
When i remember you can see me
I wanna shut down d d d d down
When i remember you can like me
Wanna move out of town t town
When i remember you might hate me
I wanna die d d d d die
And I can never look in your eyes
But you can look in mine
You can never go back,
Never go back back
Oh
You can never repeat
Never re-p-peat
You'll never get it
You can never undo
Never undo do
What you did to me
Turn your camera on
And you can never go back,
Never go back back
You can never repeat
Never re-p-peat

Go Getter

You're a go getter
And so am I
That's what I love about you
You ways go, go, go, go!
You're waking up in Mexico
I'm winding down in Tokyo
You got your coffee, I got my beer
I wish you were here, if you were here
We'd be stumbling through Shinjuku
Finding places that we've never been to
Days tick by and turn into years
I wish you were here
Cause you're a go getter
And so am I
That's what I love about you
You always try to make things better
Do or die
That's what I love about you
You always go, go, go, go!
Ahh
You always go, go, go, go
I'm on a plane landing in Busan
You're in Xela, going strong
I'll see you babe, but I don't know when
I'll see you again, see you again and
We'll be hanging in heundae
Making memories with the mermaids
The sun will rise and the night will end
I'll see you again
Cause you're a go getter
And so am I
That's what I love about you
You always try to make things better
Do or die
That's what I love about you
You always go, go, go, go!
Go getter, go getter, go go go x7
Go getter, go getter, go go go go
The sun will rise, the night will end
I'll see you again
Days tick by, turn into years
I wish you were here
Sometimes it's like we're side by side
Living parallel lives
I feel your heartbeat from far away
And one day, one day
We'll look out at Lake Louise
Lying underneath the Pleiades
You'll take my hand, and I'll sing this song
And then you'll be gone
Cause you're a go getter
And so am I
That's what I love about you
You always try to make things better
Do or die
That's what I love about you
You always go, go, go, go!
Ooh
Cause you're a go getter
And so am I
That's what I love about you
You always try to make things better
Do or die
That's what I love about you
You always go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

T-10
It’s almost time
He’s flying up into the sky
T-9
Unstoppable
It used to be impossible
Get through it, get through it
Cause this is your life
You signed up for this
Dont wanna see you cry
Get over, get over
Get over it
Cause it's time for lift off
And he’s so high
He’s never coming down
And I wanna fly with him now, ooh
But I’m on the ground
I’m home base, I’m the tin dog
While he reaches up and touches god
My man the astronaut
He’s never coming down
My man the astronaut
The pressure's on
For both of us
He takes the ship, i take the bus
We're heading home
Where we belong
And i'll try to write a song like
Do better, do better
And earn the love
It dont come cheap
You better be enough
Get higher, get high
As your standards are
He deserves a star
Cause he’s so high
He’s never coming down
And I wanna fly with him now, ooh
But I’m on the ground
I’m home base, I’m the tin dog
While he reaches up and touches god
My man the astronaut
He’s never coming down
My man the astronaut
He's never coming down
never coming down
And I cant wait, I can't wait
No I can't just sit around
Wasting time
I'll make my own ship to fly
And I cant wait, an I can't wait
No, I
I'm flying so high
I'm never coming down
Cause I'm gonna fly with him now, ooh
Right off the ground
To home base, up in the air
Just wait for me, i'll meet you there
My man the astronaut
My man the astronaut
He’s never coming down

Saved
03:10

Ah ah I uploaded my soul
Cause I grew too big for my goldfish bowl
You can take my body down to the grave
Cause I'm saved, I'm saved, I'm saved
Got no feet to fill up my boots
Got nowhere to plant my roots
I'm a dandelion seed
And I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
And I got nothing weighing me down
Yeah I got nothing except for the sound
Of my thoughts racing faster than light
Nothing matters tonight
Cause I'm up in the cloud and I got nothing
Whoa
I lay down my heavy load
Going down a fiber optic road
I'm a substrate independent mind
And I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
If I'm ever feeling alone
I just code another clone
As we enter the posthuman age
I'm saved, I'm saved, I'm saved
And I got nothing weighing me down
Yeah I got nothing except for the sound
Of my thoughts racing faster than light
Nothing matters tonight
Cause I'm up in the cloud and I got nothing
Whoa
And I got nothing + riffs x3
And I'm saved, I'm saved, I'm saved, Hallelujah!
And I got nothing + riffs x3
And I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, Hallelujah!
Ah ah I uploaded my soul
Cause I grew too big for my goldfish bowl
You can take my body down to the grave
Cause I'm saved, I'm saved, I'm saved

Sometimes my hands fly into the sky
And I don't even think about it
Sometimes the floor falls away from my feet
And I don't even think about it
Ahh
Sometimes real life gets so crazy
Sorting through like Apple's Daisy, I
Wish my hands would fly into the sky
So I wouldn't have to think about it
Gimme fake problems, I can fake solve 'em,
I gotta get a win, I gotta get it in
Gimme fake problems, I can fake solve 'em,
I gotta get a win, I gotta get it in
I'm a real being with real feelings,
I gotta get 'em out, I gotta sing it loud
Gimme fake problems, I can fake solve 'em,
I'm dancing with the Devil till I beat another level, I got
Fake problems
When I explode cause I set off a bomb
I don't even think about it
Whatever, whatever, oh, I'm gonna respawn
So I dont need to think about it
In real life I'm not heroic
Sometimes I get anthrophobic, and
It makes me wanna set off a bomb
So I dont need to think about it
Gimme fake problems, I can fake solve 'em,
I gotta get a win, I gotta get it in
Gimme fake problems, I can fake solve 'em,

Gimme fake problems, I can fake solve 'em,
I'm dancing with the Devil till I beat another level, I got
Fake problems
Dancing with the Devil I got
Fake problems
Till I beat another level baby
And when I beat that final boss
It's such a rush it puts an end to all the chaos and
When I plug in my high score
I'm always at the top of the board, but
Real life puts me off my game
I forget, I sign cheques with my username and
I wish my hands would fly into the sky
So I wouldn't have to think about it
Ahh
Gimme fake problems, I can fake solve 'em,
I gotta get a win, I gotta get it in
Ahh
Gimme fake problems, I can fake solve 'em,
I gotta get a win, I gotta get it in
I'm a real being with real feelings,
