lyrics

Walking around downtown
I’ve got my heart in my throat,
fingernails digging holes deep down
In the pockets of my new winter coat

And baby, it’s cold outside
But I can’t go home.
Feels like the street’s the only place
where I can be alone.

chorus:
And I’m waiting for a miracle to slap me on the face.
I’m looking for a hero to take your place.
But I’m wasting my breath when I scream out for you.
It’ll take a busload of faith to see this through.

And I’ve been laying it out
and writing it down
Looking it over and over
and turning it around.

Tried to see it your way,
And you tried to see it mine.
But nothing’s looked right now baby
For a long, long time.

chorus

It feels like amputation.
It feels like a knife.
I feel like a cigarette;
I’m just looking for a light.

And I’m shattered and restless,
I’m distracted and grim.
Don’t know whether to give up
Or give in.

chorus
