Somewhere Else Lyrics
I used to look for you out in the daylight,
I took highways, and sidestreets, and back lanes,
Slept under open skies.
Life can be cruel,
Life can be sweet, if I want it to be.
This town that I once called home,
I just can't hold on to.
It's got stirp malls, and bus stops, and people
I would never even talk to.
She said life can be sweet,
But life is so cruel, cuz I let it be.
(Chorus)
Everybody out here,
They wanna live somewhere else.
I wish I could find a place,
And stay there by myself.
Bit by bit I swear I think I'm losing,
All this city's confidence.
(Chorus)
I swear I've lost all this city's confidence.
I took highways, and sidestreets, and back lanes,
Slept under open skies.
Life can be cruel,
Life can be sweet, if I want it to be.
I just can't hold on to.
It's got stirp malls, and bus stops, and people
I would never even talk to.
She said life can be sweet,
But life is so cruel, cuz I let it be.
Everybody out here,
They wanna live somewhere else.
I wish I could find a place,
And stay there by myself.
Bit by bit I swear I think I'm losing,
All this city's confidence.

I think it's about giving up hope. The singer is looking around & seeing all the bad stuff happening around them. She's also sorta blaming herself for letting all the bad stuff happen (But life is so cruel, cuz I let it be). So I think it's about missed opportunities also.... she might have had some opportunities to improve her life, but let them pass her by.
