It's light outside
Barely 7 now
I'm sure
I'll see the sights
Throw my covers down
And fill my eyes up
I'm right outside
That cold arrives
Steals my breath
In chilled sea air
I fantasise
Of another time
When I'd just stay up
Not say goodnight
Spend my hours on
Fortunes, left underground
I'll dig them out
For the hundredth time
And live them over
Where do you see yourself in the long run?
With those glorious intentions
Big in your town? Thinking that you missed out?
You're always so serious
How can you be yourself when it's all wrong?
And the story ends without you?
Never look round
Keep running til you see out
You'll know the end
You'll know it then
I'd rather not turn the light on
And find it all laid out
I'll just save up all these hours
And never have to face up to
The bolder acts that overpower
Til it's over
Where do you see yourself in the long run?
With those glorious intentions
Big in your town? Thinking that you missed out?
You're always so serious
How can you be yourself when it's all wrong?
And the story ends without you?
Never look round
Keep running til you see out
You'll know the end
Where do you see yourself in the long run?
With those glorious intentions
Big in your town? Thinking that you missed out?
You're always so serious
