lyrics

Life's too short to argue on the internet
Curse all those faceless avatars
Took an airplane to avoid the white noise
No where on earth would be too far.
There's a price you pay, if you wanna play
It's the same old game, with new rules to obey
It's a long way down.
It takes forever and a day.
Can't go it alone
You're coming with me.
Please silence your phone
We've got real people to see.
Time to be a human being, man.
Chose my destination
Still not sure how to arrive
Longing for an explanation
It's the search that keeps my alive.
Looking for the signs, a short cut or two.
We're just flying blind, it's all we can do.
It's a long way down.
It takes forever and a day.
Can't go it alone
You're coming with me.
Please silence your phone
We've got real people to see.
Time to be a human being, man.
