Another Day
Station X (R.I.P.) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm on my way to somewhere / I've never been
somewhere these eyes / have never seen
another winding road / destination unknown
no address / no post code / another day / a little further away
these broken lines will lead me home / but not tonight
another voice at the end of this long distance phone line
a day / a lifetime / however long it takes / for ever is not far enough away
[chorus]
bright lights shine / in virgin eyes
tail lights red / they fade away
this dashboard glow / we'll drive all night
[counter chorus]
another day away / eight days from home
there's so far / so far to go
eight days from home

we'll drive all night / until we can't drive any further
we'll drive all night / until sleep is calling
we'll drive all night / until the new day sunrise

I'm leaving home again / when I'll come back / I can't say for certain
I'll take my pen / I'll write when I can / that's a promise
My bags are packed / my toothbrush / a photograph / postcards / an august notion
My favourite T-shirt
This distance travelled / I'm miles from home / miles from what I know
there's still so far to go

[chorus]
bright lights shine / in virgin eyes
tail lights red / they fade away
this dashboard glow / we'll drive all night
[counter chorus]
another day away / eight days from home
there's so far / so far to go
eight days from home

Forever it seems / won't be long enough





[outro]
Another day away / eight days from home
