If I look like home to you
If I am your sign
Dont try to understand it girl
When I draw the line
It hasnt come to this
That you can say I waste my time

Looking everywhere and going nowhere

For the skies they look so lazy now
Heavy are the clouds
Theres nothing here that I could learn
Or what its all about
You havent said a thing to me
And you talk so very loud

Looking everywhere and going nowhere

Well I think Ill try the circus
Or go back to mexico
Its time to make mistakes again
Its time to change the show
Its time and time and time again
To find another way
Its time to gather forces
And get out of yesterday

Because I lost what I was looking for
Theres nothing left to share
I need to take myself away
To be some other where
A face, a life, a minute more
I dont think I can spare

Looking everywhere and going nowhere

Cause I tell you when you hurt me
And you just dont seem to know
I inform you that Im lonely
And you still dont think Ill go
So if I lie to you and smile a thought
Its only half way here
Its just the circus and Im singing Im never really near

If I look like home to you
If I am your sign
Dont try to understand it girl
When I draw the line
It hasnt come to this
That you can say I waste my time

Looking everywhere
Looking everywhere
Looking anywhere and going nowhere
