[Verse 1]
I'd rather be asleep than interact with me
I don't get what you see
'Cause lately I've been trying to find
The point in human contact
I get bored like that
[Chorus]
I'm not where you are
I'm not where you are
[Verse 2]

(I'm not where you are)

(I'm not where you are)
I gave it all away for the lowest play
I think I lost my mind
(I'm not where you are)
