White Town - Going Nowhere Somehow

Take a look at where you're going
Do you know where you come from?
Seems you've spent your life just searching
In the length of just one song
But you know you're going nowhere
Like some veneer 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 like
Weighs upon your mind and 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 day by day
You've only got yourself to blame for that
You always wanted things that way
'Cause it's easier being lonely
Than being let down again and again
When you're standing on the edge of things
It means you never have to pretend

Well you can turn the clock back
And hope that you're still young and unaware
But everything that you like
Weighs upon your mind and 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
But everything that you like
Weighs upon your mind and 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
