Track 8 of "In Love with a Ghost Pt. 1: Lange Her"

lyrics

And it feels wrong and it feels right
How many times did I decide
To stay and not to run away?
All the same you say
That someday I’ll leave this place
But this life is a maze
I just can’t get away
And even if I could escape
As if I would, as if I would

Now if I did the math right
It seems like I’m stuck in this place
But wouldn’t that indicate that I don’t wanna stay?
I instigate and I hate that I’m still afraid
Of breaking the waves and of changing my ways
I never act, I only sing
Time to let loose, rebegin
Cut through all of the strings
But every step that I take away is one step in vain
Cause I'm trapped in a maze
If I only hadn‘t cut through the one thread
That was leading the way back

And it feels wrong and it feels right
How many times did I decide
To stay and not to run away?
All the same you say
That someday I’ll leave this place
But this love is a maze
I just can’t get away
And even if I could escape
As if I would, as if I would

As if I would, I would
As if, as if I would, I would
As if, as if I would
As if I would, I would
As if, as if I would, I would
As if I would, I would, I would
As if, as if I would, I would
As if I would, I would
As if I would

Tell me how many times we live in circles
Every once in a while feels like a circus
How many times will I repeat my words
For you to realize we live in circles?

How many times did I just say
How many times did I portrait
That I'm here and I intend to stay
Cause I know once I'm away
I will miss you honestly
But you lay it to waste
While I try, I try, I try an honest game
You wait for me to fail you
How I hate all the trouble that you create
But I know I would miss every single beat of it, of it, of it, of it

As if I would, I would, I would
As if I would, I would, I would
As if I would, I would, I would
As if I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would
As if I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would
I would, I would, I would
Oh how I would
