    I used to think
    Wherever I wander
    I never would ever
    Ever come to [want/war?]
    But that's all gone now
    And I don't worry
    If the future's for me and my friends now
    I just don't know

    'Cause living is with us
    [It takes gone?]
    Once it has left us
    Said the leaver don't know
    But I'm still alive now
    And I don't worry
    When I go down
    Don't let me go slow

    If love was a word
    That no one could follow
    It was a message
    That was run in the air
    I'd rather be lost now
    Than following nothing
    And really left thinking
    Unable to care

I used to think
Wherever I wander
I never would ever
Ever come to [want/war?]
But that's all gone now
And I don't worry
If the future's for me and my friends now
I just don't know

'Cause living is with us
[It takes gone?]
Once it has left us
Said the leaver don't know
But I'm still alive now
And I don't worry
When I go down
Don't let me go slow

If love was a word
That no one could follow
It was a message
That was run in the air
I'd rather be lost now
Than following nothing
And really left thinking
Unable to care
