Lyrics
GO SOMEWHERE
Don't try to catch me/ 'cause I'll be far gone from here/ and don't try to convince me/ that a smile is equal to a sneer/ I may be young in years/ but I've seen the world
traveling/ thirteen or fourteen countries so far/ and in five languages I dream/ I spend a lot of time in the air/ thirty thousand peaceful feet from anywhere/ I'm gonna
go somewhere/ I'm gonna go somewhere/ I live in a castle/ in a place far, far away/ a fourteenth century stone one/ but it could never make me stay/ 'cause I like to feel
the wind in my hair/ and see the varied foreigners who stare/ I'm gonna go somewhere/ I'm gonna go somewhere/ and maybe I will someday know/ why all these stressed out
people go nowhere/ why they go nowhere/ I dream of Paris/ that's where I'll plant my roots one day/ and I'll be a famous opera singer/ no matter what my Mom will say/ But
I figure now, since I have to go to school/ and I'm blessed by having so few rules/ I'm gonna go somewhere/ I'm gonna go somewhere/ in my life, I'm gonna go somewhere/ go
somewhere
