Lyrics

0:17Take a look at where you're going
0:22Do you know where you come from
0:26Seems like you've spent your life just
0:29Searching In the length of just one song
0:35But you know you're going nowhere
0:39Like so many of your age
0:44This has gone on far too long now
0:48To be dismissed as another phase
0:52Well you can turn the clock back
0:55Pretend that you're still young and unaware
1:01But everything that you lack
1:04Weighs upon your mind when she's not there
1:10I don't want to break your heart
1:14I don't want to let you down
1:18It's just that I always thought
1:23Life would be more than just
1:26Going nowhere somehow
1:45Now your friends are disappearing
1:49They're getting scarcer something a day
1:54You've only got yourself to blame for
1:58That always wanted things that way
2:03'Cause it's easier being lonely
2:07Than being let down again and again
2:11When you're standing only edge of
2:15Things it means you never have to pretend
2:20Well you can turn the clock back
2:23Pretend that you're still young and
2:27Unaware everything your lack
2:32Weighs upon your mind
2:35When she's not there
2:38I don't want to break your heart
2:42I don't want to let you down
2:46It's just that I always thought
2:51Life would be more than just
2:54Going nowhere somehow
3:48Well you can turn the clock back
3:50Pretend that you're still young and unaware
3:57Everything that you lack
4:00Weighs upon your mind when she's not there
4:05I don't want to break your heart
4:09I don't want to let you down
4:14It's just that I always thought
4:18Life would be more than just
4:22Going nowhere somehow
Take a look at where you're going
Do you know where you come from
Seems like you've spent your life just
Searching In the length of just one song
But you know you're going nowhere
Like so many of your age
This has gone on far too long now
To be dismissed as another phase
Well you can turn the clock back
Pretend that you're still young and unaware
But everything that you lack
Weighs upon your mind when she's not there
I don't want to break your heart
I don't want to let you down
It's just that I always thought
Life would be more than just
Going nowhere somehow
Now your friends are disappearing
They're getting scarcer something a day
You've only got yourself to blame for
That always wanted things that way
'Cause it's easier being lonely
Than being let down again and again
When you're standing only edge of
Things it means you never have to pretend
Well you can turn the clock back
Pretend that you're still young and
Unaware everything your lack
Weighs upon your mind
When she's not there
I don't want to break your heart
I don't want to let you down
It's just that I always thought
Life would be more than just
Going nowhere somehow
Well you can turn the clock back
Pretend that you're still young and unaware
Everything that you lack
Weighs upon your mind when she's not there
I don't want to break your heart
I don't want to let you down
It's just that I always thought
Life would be more than just
Going nowhere somehow
