Everywhere I Go
Off Kilter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had a feeling, somebody staring right at me
But my reflection was all that I could see
Now I must say that it’s okay

On a corner on the crowded street of dreams
But from the outside it's not always what it seems
But I must say that too was okay
Try just to live with it
I always tell myself
I wonder why just a little bit
Try just to make this something I can understand
I get by and I live with it
Well in the end the answers greater I know

You're everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
That's my problem

Well I had my reasons to hold on to what I know
Reliving history is all I got to show
Maybe someday I’ll find a new way
Now tell me something tell me what you see
We'll end this superficial life, it’s just what I need
Well I found a new way
Yeah maybe someday

Try just to live with it
I always tell myself
I wonder why just a little bit
Try just to make this something I can understand
If I ever live with it
Well in the end the answers greater I know

You're everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
That's my problem
Yeah that’s my problem

Try just to live with it
I always tell myself
I wonder why just a little bit
Try to make this something I can understand

In the end the answers greater I know

You're everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
Yeah everywhere I go
Everywhere I go




Everywhere I go
That's my problem
