the way to nowhere

Singer:alec benjamin

she's on her way to work

her heart is wearing thin

the tattoos leave a mark from everywhere she's been

cause she's never in one place

she takes it on the chin

now tears are welling up and they are rushing down her skin

while she's pushing trough the door

she hides behind a grin

but no one really knows how sad she feels within

life goes on

put a sad song on

she's tryna go the distance

but she's running out of love

it doesn't make a difference

no it's never quite enough

buys chocolate bars and magazines

the things that make her smile

but she falls down

down

down

she's on her way back to work at 7

when the morning sun is up

she goes home at 11 with her coat all buttoned up

buys cigarettes and dvds

the thing that make her smile

but she falls down

down

down

she's on her way to nowhere

driving in the rain to her house right up the road

her name is on the mailbox but it never feels like home

when she's climbing into bed

you know

she's climbing all alone

when she's climbing into bed

she's climbing on her own

life goes on

put a sad song on

she's tryna go the distance

but she's running out of love

it doesn't make a difference

no it's never quite enough

buys chocolate bars and magazines

the things that make her smile

but she falls down

down

down

she's on her way back to work at 7

when the morning sun is up

she goes home at 11 with her coat all buttoned up

buys cigarettes and dvds

the thing that make her smile

but she falls down

down

down

she's on her way to nowhere

he's working at the bar and takes a later shift

a little drunk and far too young to end up just like this

when he takes her by the hand

she does not resist

they're on their way to nowhere because nowhere sure beats this

she's tryna go the distance

now she's got a little love

a little makes a difference

even if it's not enough

the chocolate bars and magazines

just leave 'em on the shelf

and put 'em down

down

down

she's on her way back to work at 7

when the morning sun is up

the drive home at 11 to smoke cigarettes and stuff

the dvds and memories

you keep them to yourself

from the way down

down

down

they're on their way to nowhere
