Oh, the place of my birth
It was only an accident
Why else would I...
Need to go to the ends of the earth
Just to find myself
Just to find myself some time
Well I'd like nothing more than to leave
Your sad monuments
And your dumb fountains behind
Behind...
Behind...
I used to get so down before
Until I realised
Oh, it was you
'Cause you seem so void of life
Used to tell me that it isn't true
Staring down at my feet
Strolling out on your ugly street
Asking why I waste my time
The mere thought of your chime
To compete with the sun tenderly
Oh, I laugh until I cry
I cry...
I cry...
I used to get so down before
But then I realised
Oh, it was you
But you seem so void of life
You used to tell me that it isn't true
Oh, true
I used to get so down before
But then I realised
Oh, it was you
But you seem so void of life
You used to tell me that it isn't true
Oh, true
But if you're telling me I have to stay
Please tell me that it isn't true
