[Verse 1]
It's over
You don't need to tell me
I hope you're with someone who makes you feel safe
In your sleeping tonight
I won't kill myself trying to stay in your life
I got no distance left to run

[Verse 2]
When you see me
Please, turn your back and walk away
I don't want to see you 'cause I know the dreams that you keep
That's where we meet
And when you're coming down, think of me
I got no distance left to run

Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
Oooh

[Verse 3]
It's over
I knew it would end this way
I hope you're with someone who makes you feel
That this life, it's alive
One who settles down, stays around, spends more time with you
I got no distance left to run

[Outro]
I'm coming home
So cold
No more
Home
No more, no more, no more

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
