Walk out of the door and make my way up the street Cold wind in my eyes runs a tear down my cheek Not a soul to be heard so no point to complain At least the sound of the birds compensates for the rain Hit the queue for the bus and then I join the line Same faces for the last ten years of my life See them more than my friends, I couldn't tell you their names Shattered glass on the floor, kids have run out of games I don't see that's ever gonna change One hour passes 'till I'm back on my feet A stone's throw I will be walking 'till I'm off of the street Hang my coat to dry, settle down with the herd Some I really don't mind, some just get on my nerves Turn my back to the clock because it slows the time Take out a cigarette and hear the match strike Turn the radio on to drown the sound of the rain Same bands, same songs, play again and again I don't see that's ever gonna change Tell me I'm not right, say what you like, I'm miles away And expect nothing changing except for the name of the day And I don't see that's ever gonna change And I don't see that's ever gonna change From my place of work I move away in a haste Time there moves slow but rushes when I'm away Pass a girl from my school the conversation's brief Gotta catch that train, get myself some relief I meet up with friends and they knock off at six I pull in at five and walk about for a bit Watch the world go by through an empty glass And I know that I won't be the last 'so' Tell me I'm not right, say what you like, I'm miles away And expect nothing changing except for the name of the day So I don't see that's ever gonna change And I don't see that's ever gonna change And I don't see that's ever gonna change And I don't see that's ever gonna change Creep back into bed and then I pull up the sheet High over my head and uncover my feet 'Till the room goes dark and I'm miles away Jump to the alarm and start another day
