Journey
S.F.A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been on this journey forever, I never want it to end
There's so much that I've seen, yet so much I don't know
I can't stay in one place while I have this longing to go
The life of a wanderer is all I'll ever see
All I know is no place will be a home to me
Now I've still got to continue my journey
My time here is fading fast
There ain't no place for me -- I hate my life, I hate my lie
