On The Campaign Trail Lyrics
One place for all this distance
We’ve got so displaced
The life that you’ve always wanted
A thousand miles away
Like nomads, like an architect
Like moving in one place
We can live forever
We can fade away
Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don’t want a change of pace
I can’t do anything else
Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don’t want a change of pace
I can’t do anything else
Now I have your attention
It’s just a matter of time
'Till you question what I’m saying
Make me justify
Every word in every line
That does not seem to fit
But the meaning’s not so important
As long as you mean it
Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don’t want a change of pace
I can’t do anything else
Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don’t want a change of pace
I can’t do anything else
The life that I wanted is frozen in motion
The life that I wanted is frozen in motion
Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don’t want a change of pace
I can’t do anything else
Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else
I can't do anything else (x 3)
We’ve got so displaced
The life that you’ve always wanted
A thousand miles away
Like nomads, like an architect
Like moving in one place
We can live forever
We can fade away
No home in a million places
I don’t want a change of pace
I can’t do anything else
No home in a million places
I don’t want a change of pace
I can’t do anything else
It’s just a matter of time
'Till you question what I’m saying
Make me justify
Every word in every line
That does not seem to fit
But the meaning’s not so important
As long as you mean it
No home in a million places
I don’t want a change of pace
I can’t do anything else
No home in a million places
I don’t want a change of pace
I can’t do anything else
The life that I wanted is frozen in motion
No home in a million places
I don’t want a change of pace
I can’t do anything else
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else

erm, yay first comment, but boo no other comments. i love the lines in this song, especially "But the meaning’s not so important As long as you mean it" why has no-one else commented on this? are you all dead or something?
I'm not dead :D I love this song, I love Automatic. the meaning is pretty clear and I'm too lazy to write about xd maybe later (;
its seems as if he's got stuck in a life he didn't really want, you know? he wanted something else, but now he's got this life, but he can't change it or something. "i can't do anything else." yeah, and hes kinda upset he has no home really, but he's resigned to this life?
