Lyrics

From Safety to Where...?

[Verse 1] No I don't know just why No I don't know just why Which way to turn I got this ticket to use [Chorus] Through childlike ways rebellion and crime To reach this point and retreat back again The broken hearts, all the wheels that have turned The memories scarred and the vision is blurred [Verse 2] No I don't know which way Don't know which way to turn The best possible use [Chorus] Just passing through, until we reach the next stage But just to where, well it's all been arranged Just passing through but the break must be made Should we move on or stay safely away? [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Through childlike ways rebellion and crime To reach this point and retreat back again The broken hearts, all the wheels that have turned The memories scarred and the vision is blurred Just passing through, until we reach the next stage But just to where, well it's all been arranged Just passing through but the break must be made Should we move on or stay safely away?
