I couldn't feel any more trapped than I do
Stuck inside, stuck inside this state of mind with you


And yet you only smile like I'm your friend
For now my happiness depends on how well I pretend


I know I'm bound to this fixation
For as long as I stay here
Sometimes I wish I could just leave

So you could come running after me
And the perfect world we're after
Always seems to disappear

I wish that we could find a way
To make it out of here


Can we forget that we are bound by all these ropes and strings
That tie us up like this
And when we wake up we can go back to the world that only wants us

To be friends

And I hope that when I sing you're looking up at me

So you can see my eyes are filled with hope for what could be

I know I'm bound to this fixation

For as long as I stay here
Sometimes I wish I could just leave
So you could come running after me

And the perfect world we're after
Always seems to disappear
I wish that we could find a way

To make it out of here

But that would mean that all we've done would simply go to waste

I'm trying to convince myself we're better off this way
Because you only smile like I'm your friend
I wish someone would shake this out of me

Or into you

I know I'm bound to this fixation

For as long as I stay here
Sometimes I wish I could just leave
So you could come running after me

And the perfect world we're after
Always seems to disappear
I wish that we could find a way

To make it out of here

And yet you only smile like I'm your friend

For now my happiness depends on how well I pretend
