[Verse 1]

Can't put my finger on what's changed

To my surprise, I found everything the same

In a house that's not quite home

Nothing was missing, but something had gone

I hadn't seen my reflection in a while

I tracked in all directions for miles

So I took a walk through town

To see if someone moved the streets around

[Chorus]

I was the teenage Steve McQueen

My best performance: escaping

I was the teenage Steve McQueen

My best performance escaped me

[Verse 2]

The engine was running but I couldn't get away

Part of the scenery, no reason to stay

All my pictures have been erased

Just an extra with nothing to say

I wrote myself into a new storyline

This part was different; this time it was mine

Now I'm lost in my own town

It seems like someone moved the streets around

[Chorus]

I was the teenage Steve McQueen

My best performance: escaping

I was the teenage Steve McQueen

My best performance escaped me

[Hook]

Everything's just as I left it

But it wasn't me who left it

That position has been filled

Everything's just as I left it

But it wasn't me who left it

The position has been filled

[Pre-Chorus]

Just chasing, just chasing, just chasing my tail

Just chasing, just chasing, just chasing my tail

Trying to catch up with myself

Trying to catch up with myself

Trying to catch up with myself

Trying to catch up with myself

[Chorus]

I was the teenage Steve McQueen

My best performance: escaping

I was the teenage Steve McQueen

My best performance escaped me

[Hook]

Everything's just as I left it

But it wasn't me who left it

That position has been filled

Everything's just as I left it

But it wasn't me who left it

That position has been filled

[Chorus/Outro]

I was the teenage Steve McQueen

My best performance: escaping

I was the teenage Steve McQueen

My best performance escaped me
