Sitting on the train
Staring at the empty seat in front of me
Beneath a golden sky, cities roll on by
And I can't get no sleep
When I'm alone sometimes, I try to understand
What things have meaning
And I despise myself, for being such a fake
My mind goes on for miles and miles
And miles and miles
Sail away, with the sea as my engine
And the stars as my guide
Sailing to the other side
Sailing to the other side
On a starry night, walking home
In silence while the city sleeps
I try to do what's right, but something
In my nature's trying to ruin me
I look out to the sea, a thousand just like me
Needing direction
Just floating out of sight, into the failing light
As if it's just the way my life is meant to be
Sail away with the sea as my engine
And the stars as my guide
Sailing to the other side
I'm setting sail, to the other side
I'm setting sail, to the other side
I'm setting sail, to the other side
I'm setting sail
The sun goes down and I smile
But it's just pretend our summer is about to end
And I don't know if its gonna be alright
Everyone's down and my town, it's in decay
We're wasting our lives away
And I don't know if it's gonna be alright
