Everywhere but Home

by toby cunningham   Apr 20, 2008


Take a look back at the things you have done
You only see things in white and black
All the time you took one step forward
But at the same time took two steps back

You see all these problems
And you know that in time
Everything that comes from them
Will bring you closer to the line

You wake up somewhere different every day
Look around and see that nothing has gone your way
And all the thoughts in your mind get thrown
You realise that you've been everywhere but home

Can't you see that you're throwing your life away
Just for the sake of the fame
No one is listening to a word that you say
And they've all got you playing their games

You find yourself on a desolate street
Another lonely walk without a friendly face
Nowhere to go, no one to meet
Everyone's vanished without a trace

You wake up somewhere different every day
Look around and see that nothing has gone your way
And all the thoughts in your mind get thrown
You realise that you've been everywhere but home
