you never needed anyone

you never loved companion

solitary swimming against the tide

uh uh uh



you never left your neighbourhood

but always dreamt of hollywood

now you feel that empty hole inside

and nowhere you can hide



on awayayaydays

a stranger lost in paradise

on awaydays ohohoh

on awayayaydays

you're dancing on the drifting ice

on awaydays

on awaydays



it's only when you're far away

that you remember why you stayed

it's only when you're lost you truly find

uh uh uh



it's only when you taste success

you notice that your life's a mess

all the wealth and fame was in your mind

how could you be so blind?



on awayayaydays

a stranger lost in paradise

on awaydays ohohoh

on awayayaydays

pleasure is a lonely vice

on awaydays

on awaydays



instrumental



everything is slipping

out of mind and out of hand

and there's something lost and missing

and you just can't understand

oh you'll never understand
