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
