lyrics

‘Set It Off’

It’s been a long time coming now
And now we’re hear what’s to be done
Sick of looking over my shoulder when
We turn in circles we’re back at the start

Coz I need answers
I’ll ask her the questions

Sometimes my life seems like a TV scene
Feels like history is on repeat
Am I too close to her past?
When time is what she needs to get by

I’ll wait for her answers
But when I ask her the questions
I hear nothing at all
Should I just go by?
Pretend everything’s fine

(Stand up and fight)
Must be another way for sure
(Stand up and fight)
Like I’m banging my head against the wall
(Stand up and fight)
I’m not the same guy I was before
(Tell me is this what you want)
Well man I just don’t know

I wait for her answers
But when I ask her the questions
I hear nothing at all
And I just can’t go by
Pretend everything’s fine
Man I’d rather be gone
(I’m gonna set it off)
