Out Of Reach Lyrics

This afternoon I drove my car into the dirty city

I badly needed a new tyre

It was nearly flat and so worn down it was not pretty

Just like me when I retire

I watched the body language and facial expressions of some passing strangers on the street

Some of them had heads hung low and eyes fixed to a screen

Others were shuffling their feet

So I wonder to myself.

I wonder what it is that all of us are searching for.

What does anybody want?

What does anybody need?

The thing that drives us all, that everybody's looking for

Maybe it's true, the thing that everybody's looking for

Is unattainable and always just out of reach

When I'm working in the shop it is the same old story

I see addiction everywhere

It's nicotine or alcohol – it's sugar, fat or TikTok glory

There must be something in the air

I see avoidance and distraction as a constant need

In many people's lives

And when it comes to sleep,

They tell me that they have to keep their minds busy at all times

To find what you are looking for

Head towards the open door

There is no pain anymore
