In this quiet town, I don’t know why
I find myself looking up at the sky
Taking the problems I cannot solve
And flicking them off as the stars revolve
Thinking about it every single day
What is the "correct" or "right" way?
And then I start thinking all over again
Does a correct answer even exist in the end?
The same old questions, line after line
The same old answers, feeling far from fine
Inside my head, it’s such a cluttered mess
I want to empty it all, I must confess
I’m running away from who I am right now
Just running fast, no destination, no "how"
I don’t need a life like this, I’m done
Throwing away the happiness that everyone has won
Escaping
To a happiness that belongs only to me
When life feels boring, dull, and gray
And everything seems useless in every way
What should I lean on to keep moving on?
I lose my way until the light is gone
In times like those, I’d rather just be a fool
Looking only forward, ignoring every rule
I just want to keep running, fast and free
There’s no will left inside me anymore
But I run because I want to live, that’s for sure
Even if I never wished for a life like this
Even if I throw away the "normal" happiness I'll miss
I’m going to find it
The happiness that belongs only to me
I don’t know... I want to throw it all away
But it seems I’ve come too far to stop today
If I can’t go back anyway, then what’s the use?
I might as well stop thinking and cut the excuses loose!
Run! Don’t think about a thing, just move ahead
Just do it for now, forget what others said
Even if I never wished for a life like this
Even if someone else’s life is a dream I’d never miss
I’m going to find it
My own way of doing things!
My head is such a mess, it’s overflowing
Meaningless words are all that I’m showing
Just give it a try, do everything you can do
And after you’ve finished it all
Then you can think it through
