The Way to Nowhere - Alec Benjamin

She's on her way to work

Her heart is wearing thin

The tattoos leave a mark

From everywhere she's been

'Cause she's never in one place

She takes it on the chin

Now tears are welling up and

They are rushing down her skin

While she's pushing through the door

She hides behind a grin

But no one really knows

How sad she feels within

Life goes on put a sad song on

She's tryna go the distance

But she's running out of love

It doesn't make a difference

No it's never quite enough

Buys chocolate bars and magazines

The things that make her smile

But she falls down down down

She's on her way back to work at 7

When the morning sun is up

She goes home at 11 with

Her coat all buttoned up

Buys cigarettes and DVDs

The things that make her smile

But she falls down down down

She's on her way to nowhere

Driving in the rain to her

House right up the road

Her name is on the mailbox

But it never feels like home

When she's climbing into bed

You know she's climbing all alone

When she's climbing into bed

She's climbing on her own

Life goes on put a sad song on

She's tryna go the distance

But she's running out of love

It doesn't make a difference

No it's never quite enough

Buys chocolate bars and magazines

The things that make her smile

But she falls down down down

She's on her way back to work at 7

When the morning sun is up

She goes home at 11 with

Her coat all buttoned up

Buys cigarettes and DVDs

The things that make her smile

But she falls down down down

She's on her way to nowhere

He's working at the bar and

Takes a later shift

A little drunk and far too

Young to end up just like this

When he takes her by the hand

She does not resist

They're on their way to nowhere

Because nowhere sure beats this

She's tryna go the distance

Now she's got a little love

A little makes a difference

Even if it's not enough

The chocolate bars and magazines

Just leave 'em on the shelf

And put 'em down down down

She's on her way back to work at 7

When the morning sun is up

The drive home at 11 to

Smoke cigarettes and stuff

The DVDs and memories

You keep them to yourself

From the way down down down

They're on their way to nowhere
