  • Like pebbles on a beach
    Kicked around, displaced by feet
    Oh, like broken stones
    They're all trying to get home

    Like a loser's reach
    Too slow and short to hit the peaks
    Yeah, so lost and alone
    Yeah, trying to get home

    As another pitch shatters
    Another little bit gets lost
    What else really matters?
    Oh, at such a cost

    Like a loser's reach
    Too slow and short to hit the peaks
    Yeah, he's lost and alone
    Yeah, a lot of folks stay home
    (Yeah, now you go home)
    (Yeah, now you go home)

    And another pitch shatters
    Another little bit gets lost
    Tell me what else really matters
    Oh, at such a cost

    Like pebbles on a beach
    Kicked around, displaced by feet
    Oh, like broken stones
    They're all trying to get home

    Like a loser's reach
    Too slow and short to hit the peaks
    Yeah, he's lost and alone
    Yeah, trying to get home

    Trying to get home
    Trying to get home
    Like broken stones
    Oh, trying to get home
    Trying to get home
    Like broken stones Writer/s: PAUL JOHN WELLER
