As I was heading to town, began looking around 
As if it was the first time 
New faces I see and places to be I never saw the last time 
Finding my way through the old lanes remember the days 
I used to live here not sure I really want to stay but this is 
Where I'm bound to be for today 
As I try to picture the time when you were around 
It was in our school days 
You were quite a girl in the world but I was too shy 
To even ask you your name 

So you went away to a strange town 
And I went away, out with your best friend 

I really wished you could have stayed 
But this ain't where you're bound to be 
Anyway 

Does someone have the answer to all my greatest failures 
Can someone tell me why that at some very crucial time 
We can so easily lose our way 

Now I'm leaving the town as fast as I can wishing it was the last time 
The faces ain't what they seem they're just setting a scene 
Like living in some past time 

Making my way through some new lanes 
Forgotten the days I used to live there 
I feel that I don't want to stay 'cos this ain't where I'm bound to be 
Anyway 

When I was heading to town began looking around as if it was the first time 
Now I'm leaving the town as fast as I can wishing it was the last time 

I really wished you could have stayed 
But this ain't where you're bound to be 
Anyway
