[Verse 1]
Just another brain on the campus
Just another man in the field
Just another tall pile of papers
Making it crowded in here
Someone else's work in your thesis
Someone else's words in your mouth
Someone else's hard work and research
Taking you up in the world

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, never leave me out
I'm standing by the sidelines
Oh, never leave me out
I'm standing by

[Chorus 1]
I watch it all from afar
Heaven, help me
I watch it all fall apart
Heaven, help me
Help me, help me, help me, help me
I watch it all from afar
Heaven, help me

[Verse 2]
Just another brain on the campus
Just another set of ideas
Just another theory in motion
Waiting there for you to steal
It must be so lonely, knowing what you know
Man, it must be lonely, keeping it on the low

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, never leave me out
I'm standing by the sidelines
Oh, never leave me out
I'm standing by

[Chorus 1]
I watch it all from afar
Heaven, help me
I watch it all fall apart
Heaven help me
Help me, help me, help me, help me
I watch it all from afar
Heaven, help me

[Chorus 2]
I watch it all from afar
Heaven, help me
I watch it all fall apart
Heaven, help me
Help me, help me, help me, help me
I watch it all fall apart
Heaven, help me

Bastille

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
