Hopelessly Coping

Forget about your name

And your reputation

Put down your occupation

And your education

I heard what you said

About it being complicated

It ain't simple either way

Yes, a dream will make you pay

Somebody out here counting on you

To break through somehow

Somebody out here counting on you

To break through somehow

Cause you don't even know it

Where are you going?

Or haven't you noticed

You're hopelessly coping?

Settle, settle, settle down

Instead of running, running round

Settle, settle, settle down

Instead of running, running round

Settle, settle, settle down

Instead of running, running round

Settle, settle, settle down

Instead of running, running round

So why play it safe?

What you mean, "just in case"?

Well of course you might fail

But that's what it takes

Can't run from the doubts

Either way you're gonna struggle

Look in the mirror and argue

Then tell yourself it ain't worth the trouble

Somebody out here counting on you

To break through somehow

Somebody out here counting on you

To break through somehow

Cause you don't even know it

Where are you going?

Or haven't you noticed

You're hopelessly coping?

Cause you don't even know it

Where are you going?

Or haven't you noticed

You're hopelessly coping?

Settle, settle, settle down

Instead of running, running round

Settle, settle, settle down

Instead of running, running round

Settle, settle, settle down

Instead of running, running round

Settle, settle, settle down

Instead of running, running round

Cause you don't even know it

Where are you going?

Or haven't you noticed

You're hopelessly coping?
