lyrics
Follow the street till you and I meet
Back to the place just out of reach
Heads in space, lying on the concrete
I feel so far from where I wanted to be
The heir to nothing
Nervous, looking for something better
An heir to nothing
Never wanting what I already have
Follow where the circle leads
Round and round, I'm never free
Never where I want to be
Today I feel like a bag of dry leaves
Light a match let the fire breathe
A cloud of smoke catches a breeze
And just like that I'm nothing to see
The heir to nothing
Nervous, looking for something better
An heir to nothing
Never wanting what I already have
Follow where the circle leads
Round and round, I'm never free
Never where I want to be
I'm running in place
In a figure 8
I'm never where I want to be
Or who I ever thought I'd be
Anything but anything, that's me
Follow the street till you and I meet
Back to the place just out of reach
The heir to nothing
Nervous, looking for something better
The heir to nothing
Never wanting what I already have
Follow where the circle leads
Round and round, I'm never free
The heir to nothing
Never where I want to be
