[Verse 1]
I've met so many people who look the same
Most were forgotten but you still remain
Most of the time, I don't care
But London's so far away when you are there
And so it saddens me to say
I'm only happy when I move away

[Pre-Chorus]
I am young and I am lost
Every sentence has its cost
I am young and I am lost
You react to my riposte

[Chorus]
We look out upon the sea

We look out upon the sea
The coast is always changing
I'll bring my camera out to sea
The coast is always changing

[Verse 2]
Age makes no difference 'til you open your mouth
Use your time just to work things out
I know that you can't understand
When I tell you that this wasn't planned
And so it saddens me to say
I'm only happy when I move away

[Pre-Chorus]
I am young and I am lost
Every sentence has its cost
I am young and I am lost
You react to my riposte

[Chorus]
We look out upon the sea

We look out upon the sea
The coast is always changing
We'll take the train out to the sea
My heart is always changing

[Bridge]
It won't be long before you've gone
I can't imagine leaving
It won't be long before you've gone
I can't imagine leaving
It won't be long before you've gone
I can't imagine leaving
It won't be long before you've gone
I can't imagine leaving

[Chorus Variation]
We look out upon the sea

We look out upon the sea
The coast is always changing
I'll bring my camera out to sea
My heart is always changing
We'll take the train out to the sea
My pulse was always racing
As we look out upon the sea
The coast is always changing

[Outro]
And though it saddens me to stay
I'm still waiting for that day
