[Verse 1]
Forget about your name
Your reputation
Put down your occupation
And your education
I heard what you said
About it being complicated
It ain't simple either way
Yes, a dream will make you pay
[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody out here counting on you
To break through somehow
Somebody out here counting on you
To break through somehow
[Chorus]
Cause you don't even know it
Where are you going?
Or haven't you noticed
You're hopelessly coping?
(hopelessly coping)
[Post-Chorus]
Settle, settle, settle down
Instead of running, running round
Settle, settle, settle down
Instead of running, running round
Settle, settle, settle down
Instead of running, running round
Settle down
Instead of round
[Verse 2]
So why play it safe?
What you mean, "just in case"?
Well of course you might fail
But that's what it takes
Can't run from the doubts
Either way you're gonna struggle
Look in the mirror and argue
Tell yourself it ain't worth the trouble
[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody out here counting on you
To break through somehow
Somebody out here counting on you
To break through somehow
[Chorus]
Cause you don't even know it
Where are you going? (so where are you going)
Or haven't you noticed
You're hopelessly coping?
[Chorus]
Cause you don't even know it
Where are you going? (where are you going)
Or haven't you noticed
You're hopelessly coping? (hopelessly coping)
[Post-Chorus]
Settle, settle, settle down
Instead of running, running round
Settle, settle, settle down
Instead of running, running round
Settle, settle, settle down
Instead of running, running round
Settle down
Instead of
[Chorus]
Cause you don't even know it
Where are you going?
Or haven't you noticed
You're hopelessly coping?
