Rooms Without Views

I Watch Myself Go

(Verse 1)
I put on my coat, I step outside
I know where I’m going, but I don’t decide
Feet on the sidewalk, hands in my sleeves
I move through the world like it moves through me

(Chorus)
Oh, I watch myself go
Like a train on the tracks, like a wheel that won’t slow
Oh, I watch myself go
Like the end’s already written, and I just follow

(Verse 2)
I say all the words I don’t mean to say
I laugh at the joke that I hate anyway
I smile in the mirror, but it doesn’t stay
Like a shadow that slips when you reach for its shape

(Chorus)
Oh, I watch myself go
Like a train on the tracks, like a wheel that won’t slow
Oh, I watch myself go
Like the end’s already written, and I just follow

(Outro - Soft, Resigned, Whispered)
I put on my coat, I step outside
And I don’t look back this time
