It's like having sunlight you can't see, like air that you can't breathe
I'm here but there's no me, no me

But still I choose to proceed
'Cause they don't see what I see, I see, hey!!!!

She was right here, poof now she's gone
(Gone gone gone gone) Same old song, old song!!!
(Song song song song song song song)
Stretch out and she's just out of my reach
