"What Are You (Wow)" lyrics

I'm pretty good at letting my imagination get ahead of me
I didn't quite realise I was watching you become a memory

I was going nowhere and I hoped you'd come with
Said goodbye instead
Yeah, it was so clear you were above this
What could I have said

Yeah, you've been to places I could only think about
And I'm hoping maybe you might tell me what you found
'Cuz I tried to run but I could never get out
What are you that I'm not (Wow)

It always seemed you had a little something extra than the rest of us
And I always wondered how it felt to have your mind working the way it does
(Yeah)

Oh, departed, you went out eastwards
Where are you right now?
'Cuz I'm still regarding our conversations
They helped me find stuff out

And maybe everything I felt lately
Inherited its' framing
From knowing you as well

See, I could never truly reply to
Things you opened my eyes to
Helped me out of my shell

Yeah, you've been to places I could only think about
And I'm hoping maybe you might tell me what you found
'Cuz I tried to run but I could never get out
What are you that I'm not (Wow)

And maybe everything I felt lately
Inherited its' framing
From knowing you as well

See, I could never truly reply to
Things you opened my eyes to
Helped me out of my shell

You helped me out of my shell
You helped me out of my shell
You left me here as well though
Where the fuck did you go?

Well
I guess it never mattered half as much to you as what it did to me
It's not a gift to come to knowledge of a cruel and cold disparity, like that
With time resentment warped my opinion of you, what does that say of me
When really you were just the first person to treat me with some honesty
That's just how you are

And maybe that's why you've been to places I could only think about
I'm hoping maybe you might tell me what you found
'Cuz I tried to run but I could never get out
What are you that I'm not (Wow)

Wow
Wow
Yeah
Where the fuck did you go?
Yeah
Where the fuck did you go?

And maybe everything I felt lately
Inherited its' framing
From knowing you as well

See, I could never truly reply to
Things you opened my eyes to
Helped me out of my shell
