lyrics

Identify the only things that ever mattered to suit your needs
The creaking gate blown by the wind is of no consequence
Look to the sky (it's turning grey)
Look in my eyes (then look away)
Pull your collar up, get on your way

Those hopes and dreams, so far away
From where you were only yesterday
And who or what could possibly be in your way?
And in the sky (that same old grey)
Glint in your eye (for a new day)
So much lies ahead, oh who could say?

Watching you fall away
So content

So there he sits staring far away
But all that he can see is grey
And he knows nothing else will cross his path today
Looks to the sky (what could he say?)
He turns around (back to the grey)
Pulls his collar up, and on his way

Watching you fall away
So content

So find a way
To disappear 'cos in the end
You'll always take the beaten path
No matter who stands in your way

I still see you fall away
So content

So find a way
To disappear 'cos in the end
You'll always take the beaten path
No matter who stands in your way

Find a way
Disappear
Take the beaten path
No one's here
