Don't be like that, don't be sad
We were so out for a while
But now it's here for us
It's something that we never lost
Only shadow from ourselves
And even if they won't, I will
Even if they won't, I will
We're taking the long road
Cause we want it this way
Need a certain time to reach our day
Into a forest, lost in the trees
No one sees where we're going
And even if they know, I will
Even if they know, I will
Even if they we're gone
Even if we're none
Even if we're done
Or even if they come and take you away
We've been out there for hours
Talked about things we love and hate
Some people may dislike our conversation
But this how we can escape
All those years I've been working on
Everything they wanted me to be
Then everything has changed but it's still the same
And we know it
So even if they won't, I will
Even if they won't, I will
Even if we're done
Even if we're gone
Even if we're none
Or even if they come and take you away
