Neighbour boy, put his head out
Into the branches in the wind: I'd like to tell him to stop
I used to be admiring of those who never compromised meaningfully

Neighbour boy, put his head out
He is not coming home for a while: See how it goes
I used to keep my hair long like those who never compromised meaningfully

Neighbour boy, you're wanting to feel free
The further you go away from your home
I used to be admiring of those who never compromised meaningfully

Neighborboy, what takes you?
He looks me straight in the eye
He looks just like a shadow of whom I used to be
