lyrics

Living in a frozen wasteland
This place has become my home
Living on a promise built on sand
This ghost town is all I have known

All that I believe
All that I hold dear
Should I take my leave
Or stay and watch it disappear?

Breaking away
Out of a life I never really knew at all
Get away
Into a world I’ve never been before
And I want to stay exactly as I am
And I’d rather stay exactly where I am

Getting on a train at midnight
My friends are all long since gone
How can I be sure that I am right
Where five hundred thousand are wrong?

Scattered by the wind
Battered by the storm
Give up everything
Or stay where I am safe and warm

Breaking away
Out of a life I never really knew at all
Get away
Into a world I’ve never been before
And I want to exactly as I am
And I’d rather stay exactly where I am

Stranded on a desert island
Heading for a far horizon
Where I will think of you all

Looking at it through a child’s eyes
I’m glad to have grown up here
Looking at it from the other side
The time to move on’s getting near

Nothing more to give
Nothing left to learn
Stay where I once lived
Or stand aside and watch it burn

Breaking away
Out of a life I never really knew at all
Get away
Into a world I’ve never been before
And I want to stay exactly as I am
And I’d rather stay exactly where I am
And I wonder just exactly who I am
