lyrics
Go outside for no reason
Lock the door, keep the heat in
Let's explore
What's that man?
I want to be him when I'm older
Full-time traveller
You've got an old soul and a young face
You're at home but you feel out of place
So you make some changes, some reinventions
Like before, full of good intentions
Well what's the difference this time, how's this not the same?
You make big plans and then forget them again
Lock the door, keep the heat in
Let's explore
What's that man?
I want to be him when I'm older
Full-time traveller
You've got an old soul and a young face
You're at home but you feel out of place
So you make some changes, some reinventions
Like before, full of good intentions
Well what's the difference this time, how's this not the same?
You make big plans and then forget them again
