Lyrics

Verse 1
Just a reflection
Just a glimpse
Just a little reminder
Of all the what abouts (What abouts)
And all the might have, c-c-could have beens

Another day (Another day)
Some other way (Other way)
But not another reason to continue (Continue)
And now you’re one of us (One of us)
The wretched (The wretched, the wretched)
The hopes and prays
The better days
The far aways
Forget it (Forget it, forget it)

Pre-Chorus
It didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn’t turn out the way you wanted it, did it?
It didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn’t turn out the way you wanted it, did it?

Chorus
Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like

Verse 2
The clouds will part
And the sky cracks open
And God himself will reach
His fucking arm through
Just to push you down, just to hold you down, down

Stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
And it’s hard to believe it could come down to this
Back at the beginning (-ginning)
Sinking, spinning

And in the end
We still pretend
The time we spend
Not knowing when
You’re finally free
And you could be

Pre-Chorus
But it didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn’t turn out quite the way that you wanted it

Chorus
Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like

Instrumental Bridge

Chorus
Now you know (Now you know)
This is what it feels like (This is what it feels like)
Now you know (Now you know)
This is what it feels like

Outro
(You can try to stop it, but it keeps on coming)
(You can try to stop it, but i—)
