Go Somewhere
Luke Lalonde Lyrics

I was up in my room
I was alone in my room

When you heard me sing
When you noticed me singing

I was strumming a chord on my six string
I was playing a chord on my guitar

You saw how I took to that guitar
You observed how I became attached to that guitar

But words of advice you'd not done so far
But you hadn't given me any advice yet

You said, see how I work my fingers to the bone
You said, notice how hard I work

And there's no chords in 'em when I come home
And there are no musical chords in my fingers when I return home

So boy if you don't wanna be like me
So if you don't want to become like me

Start writing down everything you see
Begin documenting everything you observe

Go somewhere
Travel to a different place

Don't leave a trail to come back here
Don't leave any signs to return here

Go now, run
Go immediately, run away

Don't follow me, go out and be someone
Don't imitate me, go and establish your own identity

So I found a place
So I discovered a location

Deep in the woods
In a secluded area of the forest

And I saw my face in that neighborhood
And I saw myself reflected in that community

And I'd lay there at night
And I would lie there during the night

As the coyotes howled
While the coyotes were howling

I'd think about you and say, 'Look at me now'
I would contemplate about you and exclaim, 'See my current state'

Wherever I went I felt alone
Wherever I traveled, I felt isolated

So I'd write about people to keep me warm
So I would write about individuals to provide me solace

And I make a living
And I earn a living

I pay my bills
I fulfill my financial obligations

And I'm gonna be someone someday I will
And one day, I will achieve significance

Well then you got sick
Well, then you became ill

You told your son
You informed your child

In your chest, in your heart
In your chest, in your heart

In your throat, in your lungs
In your throat, in your lungs

Said you caught it from songs you never sung
You claimed to have contracted it from unsung songs

How they stuck to your insides
How they clung to your inner being

To the walls they clung
They adhered to the walls

You said, 'Get em out!'
You exclaimed, 'Remove them!'

Show everyone the things that I told you when you were young
Reveal to everyone the advice I gave you in your youth

And never hide nothin' from anyone
And never conceal anything from anyone

Let em out and be done
Release them and consider it finished
