I was walking along in the sun
Taking pictures of everyone 
And there's something on the tip of my tongue 
Oh

Well it's easy to see from afar 
And it's easy to be on your guard 
But it's harder just to be who you are 
Oh

When all these 
People who will lead you down the back of the track 
They're on your back 
They will try and tear you apart 
But believe and you will see that there's no reason to doubt 
Then you will find 
You can do much better than that 
If you think of all the things that you feel 
All the voices in your head that you hear
It's a mystery that we are all still holding on 

When all these 
People who will lead you down the back of the track 
They're on your back 
They will try and tear you apart 
But believe and you will see that there's no reason to doubt 
And you will find 
You can do much better than that 

If you see me hit the ground 
Don't come near don't make a sound 

I was walking along in the sun 
Taking pictures of everyone 
And there's something on the tip of my tongue
