no one here but me
I tried everything, I've been everywhere I asked all my friends and they've all been there And it's always been, it'll always be That there's no one here but me  I read the ancient walls, walked the winding streets Followed the pretty words, slept in tangled sheets But there is no cure across the sea No there's no one here but me  And all the while, I've been wasting time Putting the miles in an uphill climb Chasing the smiles of the satisfied On the other side  He was the poet king, he was the Promised Land He was the solid rock, he was the shifting sand And the only thing that's guaranteed Is there's no one here but me  And all the while, I've been wasting time Putting the miles in an uphill climb Chasing the smiles of the satisfied On the other side  And all the years I just threw away Wringing the tears from a perfect day Chasing the ghost of a paradigm From another time  So now there's no one to measure the size of my dreams No one to tell me how crazy they seem No one to tell me the way it ought to be I get to write my history, I get to tell it like I see it If there's no one here but me  Hey, all the while, I've been wasting time Putting the miles in an uphill climb Chasing the smiles of the satisfied On the other side  And all the years I just threw away Wringing the tears from a perfect day Chasing the ghost of a paradigm From another time, yeah, yeah  All the while, all the time All the years I just threw away Well, I ain't looking back, no, no
