Mindless Creatures

[Intro]
Remember when
I could barely believe in it?
Staring up at the ceiling fan
Nothing ever would happen then
Now look at where we are now
Whether if you believed in it
Everything from the ceiling fan
Suddenly became different
[Verse 1]
So I'm setting up
Everything in the living room
Headed into the promised land
Maybe everything that I need
Is everything I already had
Held it in the palm of my hand
Everything from the ceiling fan
Is gonna have to be different
[Chorus]
But way back when, in my days
It was so different, not as crazy
Now all I see are just mindless creatures
And everybody wants something else, something more
They want less of me, keeping score
And I can't keep up, looking over my shoulder
[Post-Chorus]
If only I could just see myself
Thought I'd believe it
Thought I'd be somebody else by now
By now, by now
[Verse 2]
Remember when
I was barely beginning it?
Holding onto the feeling, if
Somebody was just listening
Then everything would be better now
I keep looking for something else
To feel the way I already felt
Before it all became different
[Chorus]
Oh! But way back when, in my days
It was so different, not as crazy
Now all I see are just mindless creatures
And everybody wants something else, something more
They want less of me, keeping score
And I can't keep up from looking over my shoulder
[Post-Chorus]
If only I could just see myself
Thought I'd believe it
Thought I'd be somebody else by now
By now, by now
By now
[Bridge]
If I take my time, would it go away?
I could see myself like it was yesterday
Yeah, I was just eighteen, with a fuzzy brain
What am I doing here?
If only I could just see myself
Thought I'd believe it
Thought I'd be somebody else by now
Oh, now, now, I feel it
Oh, now, now, I feel it
Oh, now, now, I feel it
Oh, now, now, I feel it
Oh, now, now, I feel it
Okay, now, now, I feel it
Oh, now, now, I feel it
Oh, now, now, I feel it
Oh, now, now, I feel it
Oh, now, now, I feel it
[Chorus]
'Cause way back when, in my days
It was so different, not as crazy
Now all I see are just mindless creatures
And everybody wants something else, something more
They want less of me, keeping score
And I can't keep up from looking over my shoulder
[Post-Chorus]
If only I could just see myself
Thought I'd believe it
Thought I'd be somebody else by now
By now, by now
