The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Where was I when this was going down
Maybe sleeping in, maybe out of town
Spend a whole life waiting patiently
Convinced it all would come to me
My favorite version of me disappeared
Through longer days and shorter years
So where was I when this was going down?
Assumed the world would come around
To who we are
When nobody’s lookin’
When nobody’s lookin’
What I became
When I wasn’t watching
When I wasn’t watching
A little lost, a little rough
I ask myself, have you had enough?
I’ll do what’s taught to retrace the steps
I haven’t even taken yet
The fear of what I’m facing in the mirror
Stops me cold and leaves me here
A little lost, a little rough
The lack of answers all add up
To who we are
When nobody’s lookin’
When nobody’s lookin’
What I became
When I wasn’t watching
When I wasn’t watching
Who
Who
Who we are
When nobody’s lookin’
When nobody’s lookin’
What I became
When I wasn’t watching
When I wasn’t watching
When I wasn’t watching
When I wasn’t watching
