Someone Asked Me How I’ve Been

[Chorus]
Someone asked me how I've been
What's the worst I could say?
It's true, it's true
That I'm not happy where I've been
But what's worse is it could've been you

[Verse 1]
Well, why don't we start with context?
I didn't know what I was waiting for
Absence or presence, what are neighbors for?
A home can be hard to keep
Please give me understanding (Understanding)
If I make it back to Setagaya City
'Cause I need to find that joy I have known
That's just the way it goes

[Chorus]
Someone asked me how I've been
What's the worst I could say?
It's true, it's true (Is that the way it goes?)
That I'm not happy where I've been
But what's worse is it could've been you
It could have been you (Is that the way it goes?)

[Verse 2]
Now I'm holding both my passports
Can someone tell me what my name is for?
At the very least, tell me what my shame is for
This peace can be hard to keep
Why don't I understand it? (Understand it)
Is this the moment that my face is for?
I'm finally finding the fence I'm on
This view must be hard to beat

[Chorus]
Someone asked me how I've been
What's the worst I could say?
It's true, it's true (Is that the way it goes?)
That I'm not happy where I've been
But what's worse is it could've been you
It could have been you (Is that the way it goes?)
