How Did My Life Become This?

[Verse 1]

Leave behind the driveway

In the cycle lane

I wonder should I go a different way

I take a left at Mount Street

And I go the other way

That's where I want to be

At the end of the day

Oh yeah!



[Bridge]

I need to turn my lights on

Even though I got the directions wrong

I'm not where I belong or where I thought I'd be

But that's okay with me

But that's okay with me



[Chorus]

How did I end up here?

How did my life become this?



[Verse 2]

The next day I take the train

Something I'm not used to

Instead of waiting for another bus

Like I used to

I settle at the front

And I pretend that I can drive the train

The sun hides behind the clouds

And the sky, it begins to rain

Oh yeah!



[Bridge]

Do I have to change my plans

When it's what all the rain demands?

Just like upon the sand in Banna Strand

In a German submarine

When the band can't be seen



Do I have to care about the frontier?

Do I have to care about the thieves?

I wanna drink a coke and write another verse

But I don't have the time or the means



[Pre-Chorus]

How did I end up here?

Can I stop and reminisce?



[Chorus]

How did I end up here?

How did my life become this?
