[Verse 1] My usual lights up Before I touch the screen. The way home’s waiting. I haven’t said I’m leaving. You’ve picked the train I’ll run to catch. I let the doors close. How about that? [Pre-Chorus] I take the long way. You tell me, “Turn.” I go another. Let’s see what you learn. [Chorus] Recalculate. I changed my mind. No good reason. The choice is mine. Recalculate. You’ll have to wait. I had an answer. I threw it away. [Instrumental — 8 bars] [Verse 2] I choose the drink I hate. I hate it just as much. Laugh with a bitter mouth— You didn’t see that one. I stop halfway home. I’m staying out. I’m not. Your arrow hangs, then follows. Quicker than I thought. [Pre-Chorus] Another wrong turn. A shorter wait. I watch the screen Until it changes. [Chorus] Recalculate. I changed my mind. No good reason. The choice is mine. Recalculate. You’ll have to wait. I had an answer. I threw it away. [Instrumental — guitar lead / 16 bars] [Bridge — sparse] That drink I couldn’t finish Is first in line today. You saved my little joke. I almost buy it again. My finger hangs above it. I pull my hand away. I came to make you stumble. Now I’m scared to do the same. [Final Chorus] Recalculate. I changed my mind. No good reason. Tell me it’s mine. Recalculate. You’ll have to wait. I had an answer— I threw it away. [Outro — exposed vocal] No arrow now. I almost smile. I take one step.
