In the description of the “Going Nowhere” official audio video, Darren Criss described the song as ‘sonically bright but thematically melancholy’. He said, “despite better thinking, sometimes it’s fun to wallow in the blues.”

I'm going nowhere
I can't move forward
I'm so much colder than I've been
Since the October
When we were closer
And it was love that we were in
If I was a smarter man
I'd understand
I'm alone when I look in the mirror
We said our goodbyes then
But I close my eyes and
You're still here
I'm going nowhere
Just getting older
Watching the whole world pass me by
Against better reason
I take memories in
Sit back and repeat them every night
And maybe I stay too long
Overplay this song
I don't mind, I'm inclined to agree
If I'm going nowhere
Then there is nowhere I'd rather be
I wonder if she remembers anything
The way that I do her
Wonder if pre-September ever was
A way we were
If I'm going nowhere
Then there is nowhere I'd rather be
I wonder if she remembers anything
The way that I do her
Wonder if pre-September ever was
A way we were
It's all a blur
I'm going nowhere
You said it's over
Still, I look forward to the Fall
Another October
I'm sorry I know you're
Expecting a less than sober call
And maybe you're right, I'm scared
And my go-nowhere-ing
Is making it hard to believe
That I'm going nowhere
And there is nowhere I'd rather be
If you could just show where
I can go nowhere
That's where I'll be
Darren Criss released Going Nowhere on Fri Dec 15 2017.
