A Day Away - Better Off This Way [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Well, I sat down in the middle of the town
And watched as life passed by
An old man lied right next to me
He had no clothes, he was alone

So I started to think about my self
What if I end up like him?
Would I stand to be alive?
Or would I fade away and die

I don't know what to do
I'm feeling like I'm growing up too fast
And I don't know what I'm gonna be
But time will show me where to go
And guide me to my destiny
I may be better off this way

And right across the street from me
Walked a wealthy woman. She had money
I could see it just by the way she was

So I started to think about my self
What if I end up like her?
Would I stand to be alive?
Or would I fade away and die...
