Lyrics Going Nowhere Somehow - White Town

Going 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 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 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
