The Laws of Motion Lyrics

People go, places stay

I saw it all today

The city streets look the same

But you were nowhere in the frame

As people passed along the way

Making like it was another day

I turned around and you were gone

Without a bye or leave or I'll see you later on

And it feels like the Laws of Motion are going wrong

People go, places stay

Only yesterday

You were there full of fun

Playing country on

That Fender Tele with a broken string

Making music out of everything

I turned around and you had gone

Without a chorus or a roll upon the drum

And it seems to me the Laws of Motion are poking fun

Oh how I'd love to see you standing at my door

Oh I'd love to see you standing there

Nobody gets to stay in one place anymore

Always on the go. Always on the go

Just gotta be somewhere else

Just gotta be somewhere else today

Always gotta be somewhere else

Always gotta be somewhere so far away

Why do you have to go so very far away

People go, places stay

The Laws of Motion say

It takes a lot of energy

Just to lift your head and see

The sun rise high above a broken land

When there's nobody to understand

I closed my eyes and you had gone

And suddenly a shadow passed across the sun

And now it's like the Laws of Motion have come undone

People go, places stay

The Laws of Motion say
