It's light outside Barely 7 now I'm sure I'll see the sights Throw my covers down And fill my eyes up I'm right outside That cold arrives Steals my breath In chilled sea air I fantasise Of another time When I'd just stay up Not say goodnight Spend my hours on Fortunes, left underground I'll dig them out For the hundredth time And live them over Where do you see yourself in the long run? With those glorious intentions Big in your town? Thinking that you missed out? You're always so serious How can you be yourself when it's all wrong? And the story ends without you? Never look round Keep running til you see out You'll know the end You'll know it then I'd rather not turn the light on And find it all laid out I'll just save up all these hours And never have to face up to The bolder acts that overpower Til it's over Where do you see yourself in the long run? With those glorious intentions Big in your town? Thinking that you missed out? You're always so serious How can you be yourself when it's all wrong? And the story ends without you? Never look round Keep running til you see out You'll know the end Where do you see yourself in the long run? With those glorious intentions Big in your town? Thinking that you missed out? You're always so serious
