The Sidewalk Was the Shore Lyrics

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
