Where I want to be

Where I want to be

Who needs a dream?
Who needs ambition?
Who'd be the fool
In my position?
Once I had dreams
Now they're obsessions
Hopes became needs
Lovers possessions.

Then they move in
Oh so discreetly
Slowly at first
Smiling so sweetly
I opened doors
They walked right through them
Called me their friend
I hardly knew them.

Now I'm where I want to be
and who I want to be
and doing what I always said I would
and yet I feel I haven't won at all.
Running for my life and never looking back
in case there's someone right behind to shoot me down
and say he always knew I'd fall.

When this crazy wheel slows down
Where will I be? Back where I started.

Don't get me wrong
I'm not complaining
Times have been good
Fast, entertaining
But what's the point
If I'm concealing
Not only love
But all of the feelings

Now I'm where I want to be
and who I want to be
and doing what I always said I would
and yet I feel I haven't won at all.
Running for my life and never looking back
in case there's someone right behind to shoot me down
and say he always knew I'd fall.

When this crazy wheel slows down
Where will I be? Back where I started
Where will I be? Back where I started...
