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,
Sail away, with the sea as my engine,
And the stars as my guide,
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,
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 it's 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...
