Somewhere To Be Lyrics

Cut and paste these highways

Cut along the dotted line

Your scissors don't seem to be working

Darling and I'd lend you mine

But my blades are dull and rusty

I can hardly get them closed

But i'm as open as a book

I'll tell you all you need to know

About the city sinking under

And where we're gonna be

How everyone is planning

And everyone you see

About the conspiracy against me

How the world is gonna end

I'm not sure just how it finishes

But I know how it begins

All I want is for you to find somewhere to be

Somewhere's very vague

No particular place

As long as you're with me

The cracks along these sidewalks

Are like the cracks inside our minds

Mind your mother and your father

For you'll bury them in time

The coffin's being lowered

Like a seed into the ground

But then new life springs up around us

Take a breath and look around

Children play

People say

They don't know what they've got

They forget how to live

Now they're old and they never did

And they're happy having not

All I want is for you to find somewhere to be

Somewhere's very vague

No particular place

As long as you're with me

With me

So the ceiling's falling down now

And I'm lying in my bed

And I'm turning over everything

I wish I would have said

Yesterday slipped away

All I can say is catch today

So you go to and fro waiting for a sign

You fail to see you can be wasting all your time

All I want is for you to find somewhere to be

Somewhere's very vague

No particular place

As long as you're happy
