lyrics
The streets grew cold
My body grew old. When I heard a voice telling me it was you.
In the heart of the city. In a house on the floor. It’s something that I told you before
Stop going to their door.
I knew I was numb and words we’re choked. I wanted to run from these thoughts only if I can walk on my own.
I could of showed you wrong from right pull you out of the dark and hold you into the light & maybe all my life.
Walking these streets I knew that I loved you once but it was never so sweet The city is dead to me the city was death to you that night.
If only one more time could I hear your voice Id have no choice but to go back and do it all over again only for a friend.
I remember you turning away before I ever got a chance to say that I’d be waiting up through the night. You returned home in the sky somewhere after finding a different kind of high.
I keep holding on to never ever saying goodbye I’m left drowning in these tears I cry like rain pouring down.
Walking these streets I knew that I loved you once but it was never so sweet the city is dead to me the city was death to you that night. If only one more time could I hear your voice I’d have no choice I would go back and do it all over again only for a friend.
I should have taken you home
My body grew old. When I heard a voice telling me it was you.
In the heart of the city. In a house on the floor. It’s something that I told you before
Stop going to their door.
I knew I was numb and words we’re choked. I wanted to run from these thoughts only if I can walk on my own.
I could of showed you wrong from right pull you out of the dark and hold you into the light & maybe all my life.
Walking these streets I knew that I loved you once but it was never so sweet The city is dead to me the city was death to you that night.
If only one more time could I hear your voice Id have no choice but to go back and do it all over again only for a friend.
I remember you turning away before I ever got a chance to say that I’d be waiting up through the night. You returned home in the sky somewhere after finding a different kind of high.
I keep holding on to never ever saying goodbye I’m left drowning in these tears I cry like rain pouring down.
Walking these streets I knew that I loved you once but it was never so sweet the city is dead to me the city was death to you that night. If only one more time could I hear your voice I’d have no choice I would go back and do it all over again only for a friend.
