Nowhere
Tape Waves Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm going nowhere
I'm going nowhere
I wait for you
I wait for you

You're going somewhere,
I'm going nowhere,
Can I come with you?

Go out there with you?

I wanna go where you go
You and I will fall in love out there
We will be there

You're leaving behind everything
That's fine
What can we do?
What can we do?
I look in your eyes
I know that there's time
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose

I wanna feel the sunshine
I want to spend more time with you
I wanna go where you go
You and I will fall in love out there
We will be there

The sun spills light on us as we go
The sun spills light on us as we go
The sun spills light on us as we go
The sun spills light on us as we go

The sun spills light on us as we go
The sun spills light on us as we go
