On the streets of somebody's hometown
She walked around trying to find a good time
the town's a lie she's never been there before
She wants so much more than being free
From the bridge she sees the swirling water
On a train in another country
Where she felt so free she was living her own life
the country's a lie she's never been there before
She wants so much more than day to day
From the bridge she looks into the water
From a plane she looked out over the world
She tried to fly away from her own mind
the world's a lie she's never been there before
She wants she wants so much more
From the bridge she reaches to the water
