The World

I love watching you in crowded rooms

You look lost looking for me

There's something pure about it

You seem genuinely worried sick

Like you need me to live

And when you find me

You are smiling so big

I am self-aware

And that's what makes me scared

I don't breathe before I analyze the air

Should I know better by now?

If I'm the one keeping count, I'd say I'm out

I'm out

When you've been in fight or flight

For almost your whole life

You'll find you just start freezing

And when you're stuck in the cold

It's hard to call this your home

But if it's safe, why leave it?

I'm not gone, but you're grieving

I love watching you in crowded rooms, you look lost looking for me

It's innocent, like a family pet

Who wandered off with no way home

Was I selfish for keeping you close?

When there's a whole world out there

And you would have never known
