Nowhere
Paul Oxley's Unit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life is dull, love is dead,
I have a problem in you,
You have a problem in me
Now that it's over, now that it's over.
Time is still but your time is precious now.
I didn't want it to go
The way that I wanted to go
Now that it's over, now that it's over.
Ah Ah Na Na Na Na Na Nowhere...
So you don't mind, you look in your mirror and I in mine.
We don't look back, we're just like modern people.
You could have let it go on




But I didn't want it to run over and over, over and over.
Ah Ah Na Na Na Na Na Nowhere...
