Chess - Where i Want To Be lyrics

Nowhere you'd rather be than fifteen blocks away

Tonight you're embracing it, tomorrow, who's to say

Deem love unconditional but the real world don't work that way

When we examine it, we don't know what to say

She tells her roommates not, not to take your calls

The severed heads line the bed, their names all burnt in the wall

It's just not cool to act like it's a big deal

She tells her roommates not to take your call

You hear her telling them from the hall

Sloppy kids get drunk and drive their cars

Like Big Wheels, it's no big deal, it's no big deal

We create images to make our lives seem pretty

We stumble through our rooms in search of a life worth living

But what good does image do when we're tired and unforgiving?

The books you've read next to your bed, the words all roll in your mouth

Even if you could say just what you meant do you think you could work it out?

She tells her roommates not to take your call

You hear her telling them from the hall

You hang up slow scared as hell

She's not kidding, this is real

Nowhere you'd rather be than tied to a line to her

Tonight you'll try again, as for tomorrow, you're not sure
