The night is falling while you're lying there all alone
The piper's calling, and you're too scared to pick up the phone
You have your escapes but they won't put your mind at ease
There's just no peace now while you're adrift on a stormy sea
You're never gonna find what you're looking for
In a bottle of wine or a convenience store
And you're never gonna get what you want
When you catch the ball if all you do is punt
Life can seem so long if you live in a self-made hell
I've been there myself and you can believe I know it well
Oh I know it so well
But there's a way out, if you're willing to take a chance
Just pick yourself up and snap out of your wretched trance
You're never gonna find what you're looking for
In a bottle of wine or a convenience store
And you're never gonna get what you want
When you catch the ball if all you do is punt
I know where you are because I've been there to
You just can't figure out what you're supposed to do
You're never gonna find what you're looking for
In a bottle of wine or a convenience store
And you're never gonna get what you want
When you catch the ball if all you do is punt
