Going up, coming down

And she counts every day by the number of times

Waking up with the tears still in her eyes

Going up, coming down

No-one said that this life would be easy

So hard

Taking the open road

The last train home

Bad dreams, waking insanity

Makes her long for the other side

Funny how suddenly

Any place would be better than this one

Falling, deeper down with the cracks that start to show

Giving up, giving in

She's so careful to plan every moment

Dangerous how indifferent she's become

Black clouds gather together where

Loneliness is her only friend

Breaking away from a life on the run

She hoped for tomorrow

But that never comes

Always somewhere out of reach

Going up, coming down

Lost in some kind of twisted perfection

Everything said and done and over now

Cold like stones on the empty beach

Tide is turning

The waves roll in

Coming in

Breaking away from a life on the run

She hoped for tomorrow

But that never comes

Always somewhere out of reach
