[Verse]
I was down and out in San Fran, hopin' they could make the drive
I was a lonely stoner, I was always taking time
I was safe for a second, I'm closing my eyes
I never felt at home until I got old and realised
I remember being sixteen, didn't know a thing with open eyes
I couldn't take the pain but I was old enough to try
Looking in my reflection and wanting to die
I didn't like what I was seeing when I hoped I might
(Hope my body change, I can't stay the this way, I'm the only one)
Now I'm in pieces tryna leave but I can't (Won't be lonely no more, just running in circles)
I'm doubting my outfit, I'm doubting the way I look
Then she tells me, "you look great" but it hurts just the same
I didn't know at an early age
I can try, but I won't be in peace in my place
And though, I can go compare myself to them
It doesn't help me much in the end, no
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Can't go far
And I can't go far
And they can't go far
And they can't go far
[Verse: Rex Orange County]

He describes a period of feeling lost and struggling with self-image, revealing a sense of inadequacy that persisted despite attempts to find solace or change. The verse reveals a journey from youthful naivety to a more mature but still troubled perspective, illustrating a profound internal conflict and the pain of not meeting one’s own expectations.
[Instrumental Break: Rex Orange County]
The instrumental break allows the emotional weight of the lyrics to resonate without words. It serves as a moment of introspection and contemplation, emphasizing the weight of the struggles described in the verse. This break reflects the turmoil and confusion of the internal battle, offering a space for the listener to absorb and reflect on the sentiments expressed.
[Outro: Rex Orange County]
The outro reinforces the theme of feeling trapped and stagnant. The repetition of the phrase "Can't go far" conveys a sense of being stuck in one's current state, unable to progress or escape the feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. This repetitive refrain encapsulates the frustration of striving for change while feeling immobilized by personal insecurities.
