Sad lonely boy
Caught between perfection
And directions to the next big thing
It gets so hard sometimes
Stuck between what you have
And what you think you need

What do you do
When the world swallows you up
And spits you out?

Always outside,
Climb up every fence just trying
To make a little sense of the world
And the way it spins
Of the world and the way
It always seems to win

What do you do
When the world just swallows you up
And spits you out?
What do you do
When you don't know who you are
What do you do?

You are not the captain of this ship
You are just a passenger
You've spent so many years
Just floating around,
It's time to learn
What you can live with
And what you can't live without

What do you do
When the world swallows you up
And spits you out?
What do you do
When you don't know what you know?
What do you do?
What do you do?

Sad lonely boy
Sad lonely boy
