You're in control, is there anywhere you want to go?
You're in control, is there anything you want to know?
The future's for discovering
The space in which we're travelling
From the top of the first page
To the end of the last day
From the start in your own way
You just want
Somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
Under the surface trying to break through
Deciphering the codes in you
I need a compass draw me a map
I'm on the top, I can't get back
The first line of the first page
To the end in the last place you were looking
From the start in your own way
You just want
Somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you are
You just want
Somebody listening to what you say
You just want
Somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
it doesn't matter who you are
Is there anybody out there who
Is lost and hurt and lonely too?
Are they bleeding all your colours into one?
And then you come undone
As if you've been run through
Some catapult had fired you
You wonder if your chance'll ever come
Or if you're stuck in square one
