Nowhere To Run - Cool Sounds

Uptown blues

Nowhere to run

I hid out in the basement waiting till all was said and done

Moonlight comes

No one to hold

Am I being insincere when I air my problems to the world?

'Cos I’ve been praying for the one thing I can’t have

What I missed when things went bad

And how to tell my old man

I’ve been drowning far from the banks of my hometown

Without a hand to pull me out

Slowly floating my way

And I only speak in clichés because I can’t think anymore

Months to forget, life to remember

Days that I’m never getting back

And lately I’ve been staring at the space between the news

Holding on tight, watching the clock tick down from dusk until the noon

'Cos I’ve been praying for the one thing I can’t have

What I missed when things went bad

And how to tell my old man

I’ve been drowning far from the banks of my hometown

Without a hand to pull me out

Slowly floating my way down

'Cos I’m not a new man

Yeah, it’s true

But I got a new life

But I still miss you and it hurts

Yeah it’s true
