I'm a shady figure
Slipping through your fingers
Guess my time is ticking, baby
I'm ready to listen
I got freedom
But I need policing
Go ahead and read me
Make me walk in line
So have you ever come to notice
I am your downside
But you lift me up
I'm a simple soul
In this overcomplicated world
So teach me what you know
Scratch your nails across the blackboard
There are like a thousand reasons
Why I think you should be leaving
You know, you don't
