[Verse 1]
Saw the writings on the wall
They were written in silver and gold
And my car wouldn't start
Wasn't feeling particularly young at heart

[Verse 2]
Saw a boy with no name
Throwin' papers for chump change
Cracks in my window pane
I'll avoid all speed bumps on the way

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The people passing by are cynical and strange
We don't see eye to eye
We don't see eye to eye

[Chorus]
Oh I've been sidetracked once again
Yeah I missed my turn to the bitter end
I've been sidetracked by all my friends
Sayin' where'd you wanna go?
Where'd you wanna go?
Oh I've been sidetracked once again
Yeah I missed my turn to the bitter end
I've been sidetracked by all my friends
Sayin' where'd you wanna go?
[Post-Chorus]
Where'd you wanna go today?
Where'd you wanna go tonight?
You've been acting kind of strange
Sidetracked your whole life
You're sidetracked your whole life

[Verse 3]
Saw the clouds in the sky
No palm trees and no sunshine
I was rolling slow
Down a busy English motorway

[Pre-Chorus 2]
With nothing passing by, everyone staring straight
We don't see eye to eye
We don't see eye to eye

[Chorus]
Oh I've been sidetracked once again
Yeah I missed my turn to the bitter end
I've been sidetracked by all my friends
Sayin' where'd you wanna go?
Where'd you wanna go?
Oh I've been sidetracked once again
Yeah I missed my turn to the bitter end
I've been sidetracked by all my friends
Sayin' where'd you wanna go?
[Post-Chorus]
Where'd you wanna go today?
Where'd you wanna go tonight?
You've been acting kind of strange
Sidetracked your whole life
You're sidetracked your whole life
