G#m                   B
Go around, go around, go around, go around
                 G#m
I see what your language is
B
Separate from the sound
G#m                 B
Speak up, speak up, speak up, speak up loud
                    G#m
I hear what you're saying
     B
But don't know what that's about

F#
Light
              G#m              B
I try to make way before the prophet
        F#
It's my time to try to understand this all

Chorus:
       E                    G#m  B
'Cause I gotta be somewhere soon
What am I doing here?
E                  G#m B
Waiting on someone new  in my reflection
E                   G#m B
I see what I always do
Some false direction
E           G#m  B
Leading me away

I know, I know, I know, I know now
What I never knew back then hidden in the crowd
Does it make a difference if I leave?
They pay no attention
Nicknames on a sleeve

So, what's next on our agenda?
She should know
So I'll vote for my approval now

Chorus:
But I gotta be somewhere soon
What am I doing here?
Waiting on someone new in my reflection
I see what I always do
Some false direction leading me away
It's leading me away

          E       F#  G#m
It's not new to me
          E           B F#
It's not new to me, oh
          E        F# G#m
It's not news to me
          E           B F#
It's not new to me, oh
          E       F# G#m
It's not new to me
          E       B F#
It's not new to me
          E       F# G#m
It's not new to me
          E
It's not new to me

Try to understand this all

Chorus:
'Cause I gotta be somewhere soon
What am I doing here?
Waiting on someone new to show up in my reflection
'Cause I see what I always do
That same false direction leading me away from you

Oh, I gotta be somewhere soon
What am I doing here?
Waiting on someone new in my reflection
I see what I always do
Some false direction leading me away
It's leading me away
