[Verse 1]
Who needs a dream?
Who needs ambition?
Who'd be the fool
In my position?
Once I had dreams
Now they're obsessions
Hopes became needs
Lovers possessions
[Verse 2]
Then they moved in
Oh, so discreetly
Slowly at first
Smiling so sweetly
I opened doors
They walked right through them
Called me their friends
I hardly knew them
[Chorus]
Now I'm where I wanna be and who I wanna be
And doing what I always said I would
And yet I feel I haven't won at all
Running for my life and never looking back
In case there's someone right behind to shoot me down
And say he always knew I'd fall
[Post-Chorus]
When the crazy wheel slows down
Where will I be?
Back where I started
[Verse 3]
Don't get me wrong
I'm not complaining
Times have been good
Fast, entertaining
But what's the point
If I'm concealing
Not only love
But all that I'm feeling?
[Chorus]
Now I'm where I wanna be and who I wanna be
And doing what I always said I would
And yet I feel I haven't won at all
Running for my life and never looking back
In case there's someone right behind to shoot me down
And say he always knew I'd fall
[Post-Chorus]
When the crazy wheel slows down
Where will I be?
Back where I started
Where will I be?
Back where I started
