There are times when you know what you want, and where you want to go
But when you're a stranger, the streets are hard to know
And I've seen many nights when no one said a word
Afraid that they might be overheard
The words never said taught me more than I'd ever learn
So later on that afternoon I took a walk to go nowhere
To get lost in a sea of people and carlights
And I knew when I got there that I had found
A brand new way to get around
The city streets after the sun went down
There are people who speak just to be heard
To get lost from the rest and show themselves to the world
From all that you hear, you should know by now
It's better to be lost than to be found
You'll never know you've never lived until you turn around
