Where
Greenfield & Cook Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On top of the building can someone guide me where to go
I, I, I don't know where to go
I don't know, I don't know where to go
Kinda' lost and feel defeated I don't know where to go
Can you tell me where to go, cuz' I have zero clue what to do
Why do I feel so blank, empty in my love tank when
I am without you
I go through the same s*** over and over
Every time it reaches October
I think you know what's happening
Cuffing season's happening but it never goes as planned
How the h** do I keep losing it when I had it in my hands
This world is so cold man your friends are really enemies
Emotions are ahead of me, my mind is upset with me
Lotta' deep regrets with me
Think about em' frequently, honestly just recently that's why
I don't know where to go
Where to go, where to go, where to go,
Where to go
That's why I don't know where to go
That's why I don't know where to go
That's why I don't know where to go
On top of the building can someone guide me where to go
I, I, I don't know where to go
I don't know, I don't know where to go
Kinda' lost and feel defeated I don't know where to go
Can you tell me where to go, cuz' I have zero clue what to do
Why do I feel so blank, empty in my love tank when
I am without you
Yeah yeah
Off topic but I'm one now
I think I found out where to go
All these blessings starting to hit, directly leading me where to go
But I know that I been on one lately
I learned that it's fun and games til' it happens to you
To busy thinking about the why's and the how's
When I should be thinking bout' the will's and the do's
It's bout' the life that you choose, you can want it or not
Just know that you don't wanna' lose
On top of the building can someone guide me where to go
I, I, I don't know where to go
I don't know, I don't know where to go
Kinda' lost and feel defeated I don't know where to go
Can you tell me where to go, cuz' I have zero clue what to do
Why do I feel so blank, empty in my love tank when
I am without you
That's why I don't know where to go




That's why I don't know where to go
That's why I don't know where to go
