lyrics

I'm on a train
to somewhere with no name
finding myself at the beginning again

And I'm out here and I'm out on my own
and I can't read maps don't lead me home
and I'm off the chart, can't calculate
and it's two weeks to get through

Maps, graphs and planes, worked so hard
nothing's changed
left home to find I'm alone with myself

Subtract one to get your sample size
and I can't find letters that arrive
telephone calls don't go through
too many deviations from you

Planned it out so carefully
and I brought graphs to calculate z and t
and the margin of error is too wide
and you fail to reject me
and I opened up to the unknown
and the journey is wasted and overblown
