Lyrics
We can travel so far and wide
Cross the borders, visit cities
Journey on and into the night
Stopping off when we feel weary
But just what do we leave behind?
Does it really need defining?
Do we learn the lesson this time
Or will we just keep driving?

Do you remember things we did?
What they said when we were kids?
We could wave goodbye to this if we don't bother
(They're snapping at my heels)
Now you're just staring at your 'phone
Disregarding all you've known
And you're trying to be the same as all the others
(I fall beneath the wheels)

Distant cousins say it's not right
But I feel it getting warmer
And the rain, it beats down all night
Now there's no such thing as normal
Cross the street on foot if you dare
Take a step and take your chances
Taking in what's left of the air
We are so half-hearted

Was it me or was it you?
Who was the first to tear right through
All the things we said we'd do with good intentions?
(They're snapping at my heels)
And the only consequence
Is no inconvenience
Yet we'll find the true expense will not be mentioned
(I fall beneath the wheels)

Am I the only one that's left
Who's sticking by the things we said?
Maybe one day, but not yet, we'll find an option
(They're snapping at my heels)
While you're playing with your 'phone
Your friends and lovers sit alone
Waiting for some kind of home that you can't give them
(I fall beneath the wheels)

Will there ever be a way
We can accommodate this pace
And preserve some empty space for all that follow?
(They're snapping at my heels)
You're just staring into space
Because you've never found that place
And you've never had the time to really bother

They're snapping at my heels
I fall beneath the wheels
They're snapping at my heels
I fall beneath the wheels
We're not living our lives
We're just desensitised
We're not living our lives
We're just desensitised
We all pine for the past
The present will not last
We all pine for the past
The present will not last
