Lin McEwan: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

I ran to the other side of the world
To forget what was wrong with me.
Thought my problems wouldn’t follow me.
Just a bit naïve.

My problems didn’t stay behind.
Just took on shapes of another kind.
Not sure what I thought I’d find.
Maybe just another me.

But no, I still hate the job.
Still need to sing.
Still want the boy with the wedding ring.
Still messed up, and I’ve got a long way to go.
But now I know…

Chorus
If you’re gonna get past your problems, gotta learn to face ‘em.
Gonna learn from your mistakes, then you gotta make some.
Might not know what it means for me, but I’ll figure it out eventually,
I know.
Whoa-oo-oh-oo-oh oh o-oh.
Now, I know.

I ran, I was looking for my great escape,
Needed a change of pace.
But I never really left this place.


No matter how far my fears may take me,
(They) hold on fast and they won’t forsake me,
Squeeze me tight until they break me
Unless I let them go.

But no I’m still worked up, I still can’t sleep.
Still want the boy who’s more confused than me.
I’m still messed up, and I’ve got a long way to go.
But now I know,
