Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Whenever I step outside

Somebody claims to see the light

It seems to me that all of us have lost our patience

'Cause everyone thinks they're right

And nobody thinks that there just might

Be more than one road to our final destination

[Verse 2]

But I'm not ever gonna know

If I'm right or wrong

'Cause we're all goin' in the same direction

And I'm not sure which way to go

Because all along

We've been goin' in the same direction

[Verse 3]

I'm tired of playin' games

Of lookin' for someone else to blame

For all the holes in answers that are clearly showin'

For somethin' to fill the space

Was all of the time I spent a waste?

'Cause so many choices point the same way I was goin'

[Verse 4]

But I'm not ever gonna know

If I'm right or wrong

'Cause we're all goin' in the same direction

And I'm not sure which way to go

Because all along

We've been goin' in the same direction

Goin' in the same direction

Same direction

(Same direction)

[Verse 5]

So why does there only have to be

One correct philosophy?

I don't wanna go and follow you

Just to end up like one of them

And why are you always tellin' me

What you want me to believe?

I like to think that I can go my own way and meet you in the end

Go my own way and meet you in the end

[Verse 6]

I'm not ever gonna know

If I'm right or wrong

'Cause we're all goin' in the same direction

And I'm not sure which way to go

Because all along

We've been goin' in the same direction

Goin' in the same direction

Goin' in the same direction

Same direction

(Same direction)
