late one night he sat to share
thoughts that had been lying there
and playing on his mind
he'd never try to be unkind

and the time between the thinking and the writing and the reading
and the billion people sharing what they're feeling
somehow got so small
it's no time now at all

we think that we know why.

last time round they begged for more
no-one seemed to care before
makes it hard to learn
how to anticipate when they might turn

you can cut the mic but it's too late
'cause feedbacks screaming all around the place
and echos are all that anybody wants to hear in here

and i think that i see why billy said goodbye
now there's nothing for him here
just the scraps of spent attention and a bucket full of tissues full of tears

cries, tries, apologise, in every way he can
grab your precious things, billy
i think they're going to burn the whole thing down.

there used to be a way
when we made mistakes we'd rub the words away
but billy that's not how it is today,
careful what you say,
these words are going to stay.

i think that i know why
