The first track on Dayglow’s debut album, this song deals with the struggles of a controlling relationship, and the acceptance that in order to escape, the narrator must take it upon himself to change.
[Verse 1]
Go around, go around, go around, go around
I see what your language is
Separate from the sound
Speak up, speak up, speak up, speak up loud
I hear what you're saying
But don’t know what that's about
[Pre-Chorus]
Light
I try to make way before the prophet
It's my time to try to understand this all
[Chorus]
’Cause I gotta be somewhere soon
What am I doing here?
Waiting on someone new in my reflection
I see what I always do
Some false direction
Leading me away
[Verse 2]
I know, I know, I know, I know now
What I never knew back then hidden in the crowd
Does it make a difference if I leave?
They pay no attention
Nicknames on a sleeve
[Pre-Chorus]
So, what's next on our agenda?
She should know
So I'll vote for my approval now
[Chorus]
But I gotta be somewhere soon
What am I doing here?
Waiting on someone new in my reflection
I see what I always do
Some false direction leading me away
It's leading me away
[Bridge]
It's not new to me
It's not new to me
Oh
It's not news to me
It's not news to me
Oh
It’s not new to me
It’s not new to me
It's not new to me
Oh, oh, oh
It’s not new to me
Try to understand this all
[Chorus]
'Cause I gotta be somewhere soon
What am I doing here?
Waiting on someone new to show up in my reflection
'Cause I see what I always do
That same false direction leading me away from you
[Outro]
Oh, I gotta be somewhere soon
What am I doing here?
Waiting on someone new in my reflection
I see what I always do
Some false direction leading me away
It's leading me away
