Where Do We Go From Here
St. Solaire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pick myself up, grab myself out of my thoughts.
Need to get up, need to move on, on my own.
Thought I could find home within myself.
Thought that it would be enough, that it would feel the same.
But I can't seem to find a sense of home again, so.

Where do we go, where do go?
When no one´s there to hold and

Where do we go, where do we go?
When nothing feels like home, home.
When nothing feels like home, home.
When nothing feels like home.

Tried to fight it, tried to fight it all alone.
Thinking practical, thinking smart, trying too hard to understand.
In the end it´s just like sand, slips right trough your hands.
And once you´ve had it, when it´s gone, it will never be the same.
And I can't seem to find a sense of home again, so.

Where do we go, where do go?
When no one´s there to hold and
Where do we go, where do we go?
When nothing feels like home, home.
When nothing feels like home, home.
When nothing feels like home

Where do we go, where do we go,
when nothing feels like home.
