Gabe Quinn - The Sidewalk Was the Shore

The streetlights beating on my face tonight
The wheels are burning down the road
Ill drink these chemicals to keep me up
If i fall asleep where will i go?

The suns been up and gone awhile now
Its 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
Its waiting at my door
Take me back to the place
Where the sidewalk was the shore

The radio aint playing nothing
But songs of parties in LA
And if the musics taught me one little thing
Its 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
Its waiting at my door
Take me back to the place
Where the sidewalk was the shore

A thousand miles from where my heart beats
Its still in my chest i hope
Like a family photograph thats faded over time
Its hard to 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
Its waiting at my door
Take me back to the place
Where the sidewalk was the shore
