lyrics

I heard him shouting out for help,
but I didn’t see him fall.
I thought about turning round
while I watched my feet walk.

I saw a flashing red light,
and I covered both my ears.
I was on my way to work,
I didn’t have business there.

I find I like to keep my head held low.
I find I filter what I’d rather not know.
There’s people suffering across the world
just whip out your passport.
Would you catch me if I fall?

Would you run over to my call?
Would you catch me were I to fall?

I was working as a data analyst,
I found the frequency of words.
I ran my just name a couple times a day,
to see the nothing I was worth.

I ranked the world empirically,
I never saw him mentioned once.
He must be okay, but, either way,
the term “one old man falls today”
was never trending, cause it never happened.

I find I like to see my pictures big.
I find I care about important things.
There’s people suffering across the world
just whip out your passport.
Would you catch me if I fall?

Would you run over to my call?
Would you catch me were I to —
