If I look like home to you
If I am your sign
Don t try to understand it girl
When I draw the line
It hasn t come to this
That you can say I waste my time

Looking everywhere and going nowhere

For the skies they look so lazy now
Heavy are the clouds
There s nothing here that I could learn
Or what it s all about
You haven t said a thing to me
And you talk so very loud

Looking everywhere and going nowhere

Well I think I ll try the circus
Or go back to Mexico
It s time to make mistakes again
It s time to change the show
It s time and time and time again
To find another way
It s time to gather forces
And get out of yesterday

Because I lost what I was looking for
There s nothing left to share
I need to take myself away
To be some other where
A face, a life, a minute more
I don t think I can spare

Looking everywhere and going nowhere

Cause I tell you when you hurt me
And you just don t seem to know
I inform you that I m lonely
And you still don t think I ll go
So if I lie to you and smile a thought
It s only half way here
It s just the circus and I m singing I m never really near

If I look like home to you
If I am your sign
Don t try to understand it girl
When I draw the line
It hasn t come to this
That you can say I waste my time

Looking everywhere
Looking everywhere
Looking anywhere and going nowhere
