[Verse 1:]
Who can tell just what might happen?
Sometimes you're gonna feel a shock
You got it covered, yeah
You think you're laughing
Then it hits you like a ton of rock
[Chorus:]
You see your life in detail
Such a close-up view
From another angle
Like another you
[Verse 2:]
It's that feeling again
Do you remember
When you were so convinced
You knew everything
You thought that happiness was automatic
You were living in the meantime
It's that feeling again
Do you remember
When you had it all sown-up
And then a collar ripped
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3:]
You were optimistic
Energetic
Now you wonder why you feel so numb
Like you're under anesthetic
Makes you wonder
Where you're coming from
It's like the feeling again
Do you remember
When you were so convinced
You knew everything
[Repeat Chorus:]
