By Joel Shaw
Written August '95 - August '98

And if I'm feeling down
It's cause this is not my hometown
I know to you it seems all right
But I'd rather be somewhere else tonight
All the roads go all wrong
And all the lights take much too long
I'm glad to be on my own
But I wish this were more like home

(Bridge)
And it's starting to feel like I'm all alone

(Chorus)
I'm going down
I'm taking a trip; I'm coming round
Biting my lip I make no sound
I tighten my grip but I'm losing ground
I'm having a sip before I drown

And if I'm spoken to
I just mumble and move on through
Maybe I'm too shy
Or maybe I'm afraid to try
Right now the phone's my only friend
Until the mailman comes back again
I sit and turn the TV on
And watch nothing till the break of dawn

(Bridge)
And it seems like forever since I've been gone

Chorus

Days pass but it's still the same
Nobody knows my name
Used to be all I had was pride
Til I discovered I'm empty inside

(Bridge)
I don't bother with hope cause I've already died

Chorus
