Going Nowhere from Battlescars EP by Chris Read
This was the quickest track to write on the EP, took about half an hour to get the chords down and the lyrics were easy to fit over the top. I hadn't actually played this on anything other than just acoustic guitar before bringing it to Will, which freed up the sound a lot, and we had a lot of fun putting the other instruments on top.

Lyrics
I've been running in circles
Trying to find the beginning
I wonder if I've lost my way
Or if I'm somehow winning
I've been running in circles
Trying to find the end
I know I've lost my mind
But I'm finding it fine to try and pretend
And this daydream seems to have gone on too long
And this daydream seems to have turned into a song
But as long as I've spent it with you
I'll dream this dream the whole day through
This feels like a daydream
Trying to catch my feet in a slipstream
And I'm going nowhere fast
I'm going nowhere, I'm not gonna last
So lets go back to the verse
And say a few words about
Not being afraid to be burned
Not believing everything you've heard
Not running in circles trying to
Find your way in the whirlpool of this world
When the reason and rhyme
Is staring at you the entire time
And this daydream seems to have gone on too long
And this daydream seems to have turned into a song
But as long as I've spent it with you
I'll dream this dream the whole day through
This feels like a daydream
Trying to catch my feet in a slipstream
And I'm going nowhere fast
I'm going nowhere, I'm not gonna last
So close your eyes and feel the rain on your skin
Don't be afraid to let me in
And I'll love you
I'll love you
