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.
