  • Where are you going? With your long face
    Pulling down, don't hide away
    Like an ocean that you can't see but you can smell
    And the sound of the waves crash down

    I am no Superman, I have no reasons for you
    I am no hero, oh, that's for sure
    But I do know one thing
    Is where you are is where I belong
    I do know where you go, is where I wanna be

    Where are you going?
    Where do you go?

    Are you looking for answers
    To questions under the stars?
    Well, if along the way
    You are grown weary
    You can rest with me until
    A brighter day and you're okay

    I am no Superman, I have no answers for you
    I am no hero, oh, that's for sure
    But I do know one thing
    Is where you are is where I belong
    I do know where you go, is where I wanna be

    Where are you going?
    Where do you go?

    Where do you go?
    Where are you going?
    Where do you go?

    I am no Superman, I have no answers for you
    I am no hero, oh, that's for sure
    But I do know one thing
    Is where you are is where I belong
    I do know where you go, is where I wanna be

    Where are you going?
    Where do you go?
    Tell me, where are you going?
    Where?
    Well, let's go Writer/s: David John Matthews

  • 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
