The Sidewalk Was the Shore

The streetlights beating on my face tonight The wheels are burning down the road I'll drink these chemicals to keep me up If I fall asleep where will I go? The suns been up and gone a while now It's hidden by these concrete oaks The metals ringing in my ears again Like the pay phone that goes dead when I call home So take me back to the place Where the waters blue and green Where the skyline meets the river That comes rushing through the trees The wilderness has all of me, it's waiting at my door Take me back to the place Where the sidewalk was the shore The radio ain't playing nothing But songs of parties in LA And if the musics taught me one little thing It's that people never mean a word they say So take me back to the place Where the waters blue and green Where the skyline meets the river That comes rushing through the trees The wilderness has all of me, it's waiting at my door Take me back to the place Where the sidewalk was the shore A thousand miles from where my heart beats It's still in my chest I hope Like a family photograph that's faded over time It's hard see but I still know So take me back to the place Where the waters blue and green Where the skyline meets the river That comes rushing through the trees The wilderness has all of me, it's waiting at my door Take me back to the place Where the sidewalk was the shore
