Chess New York movie - Where I Want to Be lyrics

<br>

[ANATOLY]<br>

Who needs a dream?<br>

Who needs ambition?<br>

Who'd be the fool<br>

In my position?<br>

Once I had dreams<br>

Now they're obsessions<br>

Hopes became needs<br>

Lovers possessions.<br>

<br>

Then they move in<br>

Oh so discreetly<br>

Slowly at first<br>

Smiling too sweetly<br>

I opened doors<br>

They walked right through them<br>

Called me their friend<br>

I hardly knew them.<br>

<br>

Now I'm where I want to be and who I want to be and doing what I<br>

always said I would and yet I feel I haven't won at all.<br>

Running for my life and never looking back in case there's<br>

someone right behind to shoot me down and say he always knew I'd fall.<br>

<br>

When the crazy wheel slows down<br>

Where will I be? Back where I started.<br>

<br>

Don't get me wrong<br>

I'm not complaining<br>

Times have been good<br>

Fast, entertaining<br>

But what's the point<br>

If I'm concealing<br>

Most of my thoughts<br>

All of my feeling.<br>

<br>

Now I'm where I want to be and who I want to be and doing what I<br>

always said I would and yet I feel I haven't won at all.<br>

Running for my life and never looking back in case there's<br>

someone right behind to shoot me down and say he always knew I'd fall.<br>

<br>

When the crazy wheel slows down<br>

Where will I be? Back where I started.<br>

<br>
