New Start

I want to build a boat
And drive it out to sea
A getaway car just for you and me
I want to dig a cave
Twenty meters deep
A safer space where you don't have to cry before you sleep
I want to have a window
With the whole world on the outside
We watch them play their games and only
Join if it feels right

Everywhere I go, I see you
But I don't see the things you do
Everywhere I go, I look down
Down, down, into the ground
And I think there's no new start for us in this town

I want to be a king
With an iron crown
So heavy that it holds all the doubts down
I want to say it's nothing
But a passing fear
That all of our problems won't be gone within a year
I want to be like you, too
With a mind that's elsewhere all the time
Every now and then, I'll weep
But mostly, I'll be fine, yeah

Everywhere I go, I see you
But I don't see the things you do
Everywhere I go, I look down
Feeling watched by the people around
And I think there's no new start for us in this town
In this town

No new start for us in this town

Every door is locked
Every window is barred
Every road is closed
And the road is hard
Sometimes I wish that we'd just vanish in the night
Waiting for the big bang
Waiting for the final day to come
When all the people stand as one
And say: You better, you better be gone
Greenish light and a clear direction
You just earned my affection

No new start for us in this town
I think I'll try a new one tomorrow

Everywhere I go, I see you
But I don't see the things you do
Everywhere I go, I look
Down
