Selfish Lyrics by Adam Barnes

Human Of The Year, Pt. 1

2022

[Verse 1]
Do you wanna go back?
Do you wanna go back, to when it all closed down?
And we weren't supposed to
We weren't supposed to meet, so I snuck across town
And I got up early to see you on Thursday
Six weeks went by, I've been missing it lately
Do you wanna go back?
Do you wanna go back?

[Verse 2]
I cancelled my flight, they closed the border
So, I'm stuck in this city
You don't go out of your way to call on my birthday
I think you did out of pity
You look like you've handled it well
You said you've been drinking, but I couldn't tell
Do you wanna go back?
Do you wanna go back?

[Chorus]
And what comes next?
What happens now?
'Cause we tore up the maps
We destroyed the sacred cow
It's a selfish thought
It's a childish game
You said that it's different
It's always been the same

[Verse 3]
This place is half empty
Watching the TV with the sound off, it's easy to get lost
The people are passing by like strangers do
Time not spent with you
The dead are getting better
With all this [?] weather
If we keep keeping our distance
We'll be distant forever
So do you wanna go back?
Do you wanna go back?

[Chorus]
And what comes next?
What happens now?
'Cause we tore up the maps
We destroyed the sacred cow
It's a selfish thought
It's a childish game
And you said that it's different
It's always been the same

[Outro]
Do you wanna go back?
Do you wanna go back?
So do you wanna go back?
Do you wanna go back?
So do you wanna go back?
Do you wanna go back?
So do you wanna go back?
Do you wanna go back?
