Setting Sail

Dum Dums

Sitting on the train, staring at the empty seat in front of me
Beneath the golden sky, cities roll on by and I can't get no sleep
When I'm alone sometimes
I try to understand
What things have meaning
And I despise myself
For being such a fake
My mind goes on for miles and miles and miles and miles

Chorus
Sail away, with the sea as my engine
And the stars as my guide
Sailing to the other side.

On a stormy night, walking home in silence, while the city sleeps
I try to do what's right, but something in my nature's trying to ruin me
I look out to the sea
A thousand just like me
Needing direction
Just floating out of sight
Into the failing light
As if it's just the way my life is meant to be

Chorus

I'm setting sail to the other side,
The sun goes down and I smile but it's just the same,
Our summer is about to end, and I don't know if it's gonna be alright
Everything's down, and the town is in decay
We're wasting our lives away
And I don't know if it's gonna be alright
