Wherever You Go (There You Are)

I moved away from my first love, far away from the smell of the sea.
I hoped I could return someday but my home went and changed on me.

So I ran all around the world and when there was nowhere left to go
I said I need to be alone, 'cause wherever you go, there you are.

You said, "You take everything too serious."
I rarely know how to cope with this friggin screwed up world.
If I could find a way to run away you know I'd run away.
Tried it three times, but I can't run away.

'Cause I ran all around the world and when there was nowhere left to go
I said I need to be alone, need to think things through, 'cause wherever you go, there you are.

You always thought life was a game to be won and for a while you were winning.
You're always in the tabloids, the cover of Harbor High Today.
You used to say drama blows away, but you're not saying that today.
Now you know you can't run away

'Cause you ran all around the world and when there was nowhere left to go
You said you need to talk things through, you need to know I'm here for you, 'cause wherever you go, there you are.

'Cause how do you run away when you're the villain in the play?
All I know is: your guardian is all I've ever been and if that's all I ever am then that's okay.
So please believe me when I say you can't run away.

Underwater

Kept underwater, though I still need air
Under a weight I know I cannot bear.
Because I need it was never a good enough reason
So I bear what I must bear
And I breath despite the water and I walk towards the air
Because the world's laws govern me despite what I can take.
Home is so far away and it'll never feel the same.
I need to replicate those few good days
The cool morning fog and the warm evening air
But that was never a good enough reason
So I breath despite the water
And I walk. And I fall.
And I can't get air to my heart and my brain.
The water and the world don't care what I can and can't take.
