The day races past you
Like somebody hit fast-forward
White noise, you cover your ears
No use, tinnitus, you rush onto the bus
Bus brakes, kid screams, crappy air
You reach uni, presentation
Hours of algebra, tape mess in your head
Surrounded by yawning people
No chance to flip your tape anymore
Stop please, take a deep breath
Where's that button with the square
When the world bugs you again
'Cause your cassette just won't play
Just shut the noise off
And rewind back to yourself
When the world bugs you again
'Cause your cassette just won't play
Just shut the noise off
And find your way back to yourself
And walk a little way with me
You can't keep up, like someone fast-forwarded
Everything's already been said while you're still hunting for words
You really gotta decide
Study again or a journey of self-discovery?
How will you overwrite your tape?
Law-firm boss or a baby at 30?
What'll make the cassette snap?
High life or saving for tougher times?
Stop please, take a deep breath
Where's that button with the square
When the world bugs you again
'Cause your cassette just won't play
Just shut the noise off
And rewind back to yourself
When the world bugs you again
'Cause your cassette just won't play
Just shut the noise off
And find your way back to yourself
And walk a little way with me
And walk a little way with me
When the world bugs you again
'Cause your cassette just won't play
Just shut the noise off
And rewind back to yourself
When the world bugs you again
'Cause your cassette just won't play
Just shut the noise off
And find your way back to yourself
And walk a little way with me
And walk a little way with me
