I heard your story

Something ‘bout some guy with a plan

He said something ‘bout an idea that I swear you already had

But now you want it back again so you can sell it on back to your friends

I still feel too young to ever do what I’m told

Our blood runs hot but our heart beats cold

And our stubborn heads never let shit go

Even when we know we should

And we know we should

So we went missing while they were sleeping

We spread ourselves out and started dreaming

Of a quiet life we could leave behind

We spread ourselves out faster than they thought we could hide

This story’s boring

Don’t waste your time setting the scene

Twenty kids can count 200 kids can see

A dozen folks will ride the rest of us will read about the places that we’ll never go

But we went to school ‘cos we do what we’re told

And we found some jobs and paid off our loans

Then we lost our jobs so let your parents know

That you’ll be moving home

So we went missing while they were sleeping

We spread ourselves out and started dreaming

Of a quiet life we could leave behind

We spread ourselves out faster than they thought we could hide

Faster than they thought we could hide

So tell me where you been

We’ve been standing on the corner

Shouting on the corner waiting for someone to

Say something meaningful or just cynical

We need a miracle now, now, now, now, now

So we went missing while they were sleeping

We spread ourselves out, we spread ourselves out

To farms and cities across the country

We spread ourselves out faster than they thought we could hide

Faster than they thought we could hide
