There's a reason she's alone, you can't pin her down
Because no one needs her home or needs her around
She says: «There's beauty in the hills, a chip in the sky
So don't be sad because I roam, it keeps me alive»

To impress her — it's too damn hard
To stay loyal without going too far
If I see her again, promise I won't cry

To impress her — it's too damn hard
To stay loyal without going too far
If I see her again, promise I won't cry

She wasn't back tonight and I don't know about you
My money's on the night, it takes her away like I do
My charm is twinkling out of her eyes,
Of her eyes
She will never grow old or change her mind
She'll talk about it later on from seeing sights
There's something wonderful and odd about the escape
And while you want them to be gone you want them to stay

And impressing her is just so damn hard
I want her back, please don't go too far
If I see her again, promise
I won't cry

To impress her — it's too damn hard
To stay loyal without going too far
If I see her again, promise I won't cry

She doesn't come back much, no one misses her like I do
I hope she's having fun, doing what she wants to
And send a postcard or two from the sights
Sometime

To impress her is just too damn hard
And I want her back, but she's gone too far
If I see her again, promise I won't cry

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
