Don't Miss It - James Blake

The world has shut me out

If I give everything I’ll lose everything

Everything is about me

I am the most important thing

And you really haven’t thought all those cyclical thoughts for a while?

And as it keeps going

I could never be involved

I could never really see in real time

I could never be involved

And as it keeps on going

I could avoid real time

I could ignore my busy mind

I could avoid contact with eyes

I could avoid going outside

I could avoid wasting my life

I could avoid

I could avoid 20/20 sight

I could avoid standing in line

I could avoid the 405

I could avoid coming to life

I could say anything I like

I could switch off whenever I like

I could sleep whenever I like

I could leave in the middle of the night, oh

But I’d miss it

Don’t miss it

Don’t miss it like I did

And as it keeps going

If there’s no need for the perfect image

And nothing seems that wrong

Don’t miss it

When you know there’s better conversation waiting for you at home

And as it keeps on going

You forget whether it was the beginning or end

When you can’t believe your luck

(When you can’t believe your luck)

You’re with your friend

When you get to hang out with your favourite person every day

When the dull pain goes away

Don’t miss it (Don't miss it)

When you stop being a ghost in a shell

And everybody keeps saying you look well

Don’t miss it

Like I did

Don’t miss it

Don’t miss it like I did

Like I did
