Careerist

I'm a careerist now, don't ask me how it happened slowly
I started looking down for the profound in the ordinary
So that's why I take the long way home (Home)

These days your words don't mean what they used to mean
To people like me
I've grown an appetite I can't satisfy
With my hopes and dreams
So that's why I can't take the long way home

I spend my time like it isn't mine
Like I've nothing to lose here
By the end, I know I've nothing to show
But that's not the point, my dear, Oh-oh

Things I would sing in crowds
I didn't know how to say quiеtly
These days I'm tired from fuеlling the fire
I've people depending on me
So I just can't take the long way home

I spend my time like it isn't mine
Like I've nothing to lose here
By the end, I know I've nothing to show
But that's not the point, my dear, Oh-oh
