Are you settling?
The faces, the shadows are fading away
Wasting it all, wasting it all
Without any direction
And I can't settle down
Without losing something else

Who let?
We're exiled in a foreign land
Who let?
Nothing's ever done

Dare I place it all inside of something I can't reach
When I know that I can make it on my own
We could never know

Is it close enough?
Tracing the outline it's fading away
Wasting it all, wasting it all
Without any direction
And I need something more
Could you make it feel the same?

Who let?
We existed in a different place
Who let?
Nothing's ever done

Dare I place it all inside of something I can't reach
When I know that I can make it on my own
We could never know

([Reversed:] I can't settle down without using someone else)
We will hold all the opposition's gold
Made it past all the conflicts of our past
I can't settle down without using someone else

I've been counting the seconds after the handshake
Under the stairwell, inside your bedroom
You made a promise, I looked away
I'll never forget that
You can't create a portrait
Out of a shadow, out of an idea
You never had, you never wanted
You never could, I'll never forget that
