Nowhere To Go

Joshua Radin · Rock & The Tide [2010]

Been stoned, been smoked

Been drunk, been bedded now

We got nowhere to go

We got nowhere else to go

All this time, all we wanna know

Is where are we headed but

We got nowhere to go

We got nowhere else to go



You see, we can be free

If we live in our heads

So let's say let it be

And I won't get left by the wayside

I said I'm gonna turn a blind eye

How you see me

They say that's the key

Oh whoa, yeah

That's how I, that's how I wish I could be



But I need, but I want

So I get something better but

I got a ways to go

I got a ways to go

All this time I've been following life

To the letter, but

That ain't the way to go

That ain't the way to go



You see, we can be free

If we live in our heads

So let's say let it be

And I won't get left by the wayside

I said I'm gonna turn a blind eye

How you see me

They say that's the key

Oh whoa, yeah

That's how I, that's how I wish I could be



But I need, but I want

So I'll get something better but

I got a ways to go

I got a ways to go



You see, we can be free

If we live in our heads

So let's say let it be

And I won't get left by the wayside

I said I'm gonna turn a blind eye

How you see me

They say that's the key

Oh whoa, yeah

That's how I, that's how I wish I could be

About Nowhere To Go

Released during a period where Radin balanced his solo career with significant contributions to television soundtracks, the track reflects his signature ability to weave personal narrative with universal themes of displacement and resilience.

As part of his broader body of work, the recording captures the raw vulnerability characteristic of his early-to-mid career output, offering a sonic landscape that prioritizes lyrical depth over production gloss.
