So they're saying
That the end is coming
I'm saying that
They don't know nothing

It's been right here
(It's been right here)
The whole time
(The whole time)
Disguised as a straight line

(Ah, ah)
If we already knew who to be
(Ah, ah)
Time is something
That we wouldn't need

One by one
You will lose yourself
As you keep on following
Following footsteps
That lead the wrong direction

One by one
You are fading out
As you're slowly settling
Settling for the same
You play it safe
You end progression

Retreating to the same old places
Breeding all the same old faces
Youth is wasted on the young
Life is wasted on the living ones

(Ah, ah)
If we already knew who to be
(Ah, ah)
Time is something
That we wouldn't need

One by one
You will lose yourself
As you keep on following
Following footsteps
That lead the wrong direction

One by one
You are fading out
As you're slowly settling
Settling for the same
You play it safe
You end progression

I've been cheated
I've been broken
And it made me a better man
Something you will never say

And you will end
Before beginning
The same as you ever were
Quietly you'll slip away

One by one
You will lose yourself
As you keep on following
Following footsteps
That lead the wrong direction

One by one
You are fading out
As you're slowly settling
Settling for the same
You play it safe
You end progression

You play it safe
You end progression
