lyrics

What was I thinking? Trying to get away
Nothing’s any different I’m fated to live as a stray

How can I complain about being lonely, when all I wanna do is be alone?
It’s kind of hard when your heart won’t stop roaming and deep down you’re really tired to the bone

I was gonna dig myself into city streets and hope nobody would notice me
Why was I expecting anonymity? Thought if no one knew my name I could do what I please

How can I complain about being lonely when all I wanna do is be alone?
It’s kind of hard when your heart won’t stop roaming and deep down you’re really tired to the bone

Long, yellow lines can’t keep me company, I can’t take refuge in a stranger’s face
No one’s ever gonna wanna settle down with me if I can’t stay in one place
