The Quest
Firebug Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I choose wherever I wanna go
It may be too far or it may be close
Wherever I wanna go one day I won´t be alone
I surely won´t

I choose wherever I wanna go
The tide may be high the tide may be low
And when I want to go I really want to go
And when I want to go I really want to go
I really do

Got stuck in this place for far too long
And there´s no reason I should stay
Guess who´s leaving early on the morning train
Won´t find love here again

I choose wherever I wanna go
The tide may be high the tide may be low
And when I want to go I really want to go
And when I want to go I really want to go
I really do

Know the road is long but there´s no fear
Wonder why you were so mean
Sure you´ll remember
When those tears fall down
I'll be on my way

Not so sure about my destiny
And now you don´t seem to care
The bag ain´t heavy but the
Memories are great
They´ll never fade away





And when I want to go I really want to go
And when I want to go I really want to go...
