[Verse 1]
I ran away without calling, without saying a word
Running free again
Until we meet again
I'm a ghost, I'm a toddler
Let me pretend not to hear
I'm a Napoleon
Starting a war again
[Chorus]
You stand in your own way (Your own way)
And you played it well (And you played it well)
If you've been lying (Lying)
Now’s the time (Now's the time to tell)
[Verse 2]
Parents, please love your children
Before they ruin the world
What are you after?
Does it matter?
You wanted a turn
You ran a race without moving
And you won
Stop buying plastic
Go to practice
Start giving a shit
[Chorus]
You stand in your own way (Your own way)
And you played it well (And you played it well)
If you've been lying (Lying)
Now’s the time (Now's the timе to tell)
