Album: Busted Stuff (2002)Charted: 39 License This Song  songfacts ®artistfacts

• Where are you going, with the long face pullin' down Don't hide away like an oceanBut you can't hear what you can swear That the sun sound of waves crash down...(Hook)I am no SupermanI have no answers for youI am no hero aww that's for sureBut I do know one thingIt's where you are is where I belongI do know where you go that's where I want to beWhere are you going?Where do you go, are you looking for answers to questions under the stars?If along the way you are growing weary You can rest with me until the brighter day and you're OK(Hook Repeat)Where are you going?Where do you go?(Solo)Where do you go?Where are you going?Where do you go?(Hook Repeat) Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

• Frank from Cambridge, MaI hear it as the singer is trying comfort his troubled lover who is retreating into a inner world he can't see and tries to understand. Perhaps the suggestion is that, we all experience this inherent lonliness of our subjective world. He's trying to see into this world, but can only get so close, which is part of the human condition. None of us are supermen. Perhaps the positive message of caring, loyalty and just being there for someone for reasons that can't be expressed is even more important in some way.
• Matt from Chicago, IlOn Storyteller, Dave talks about how the meaning of this song could have changed, if you linked it to 9/11. He said music is like art, once you show it off... everyone owns it, and can interpurit for themselves.
• Joshua from Cincinnati, Ohthis song is about following the one that you love
