Old, old song from the Snow Crash days...

LYRICS:

And if you wind up standing alone
The world can seem so small
And if you're needing a friendly smile
Don't come to me.

(CHORUS)
I could never understand
why you always had to try me, why me?
It's only a little way behind
but it's always how you find me
and I can't get away from you

So if you find that I'm not helping,
sometimes you should leave
I am locked inside
a tiny world of my own

CHORUS

(the missing middle 8)
When you look at me with your brown eyes I wanna cut you up
to see what you have got that makes you so one-sided
this is not a dream, it's how I feel and it is so fsked up
the world is closing in, and I can't escape it now

So when you wake up and realise
that we could never last
don't look back, just keep on walking
and try to forget
