Cracks in the pavement underneath my shoe
I care less and less about and less about you
No one else around to look at me
So I can look at my shadow as much as I please

All the kicks that I can't compare to
Making friends like they're all supposed to

You will never come close to how I feel
You will never come close to how I feel

Space around me where my soul can breathe
I've got body that my mind can leave
Nothing else matters, I don't care what I miss
Company's okay
Solitude is bliss

There's a party in my head and no one is invited

And you will never come close to how I feel 
You will never come close to how I feel 

Movement doesn't flow
Quite like it does when I'm alone
I'll be the one who's free
You and all your friends can watch me, today

Don't ask me how you're supposed to feel

You will never come close to how I feel 
You will never come close to how I feel 
You will never come close to how I feel 
You will never come close to how I feel
