Sidewalk - Brooklyn Underwood

You left me standing on the sidewalk Waiting for you to rescue me, hmm, hmm But you were distant and so cold Heartless, you wouldn't even talk to me, hmm I say no, you got no more cards to show 'Cause I've seen them As I go, you see my shadow from afar as I'm leaving You're deleted 'Cause I'm not buying the lies you sell I'm not in Heaven, I'm not in Hell I'm just standing on the sidewalk I'm just standing on the sidewalk You take for granted that I stay the same After all the shit you put me through, hmm, yeah I was wasted to be someone else But now I see your ugliness has made me ugly too I say no, you got no more cards to show 'Cause I've seen them As I go, you see my shadow from afar as I'm leaving You're deleted 'Cause I'm not buying the lies you sell I'm not in Heaven, I'm not in Hell I'm just standing on the sidewalk And every time I was in need of some shelter You always put me back on the street But now I know that you're the one I should run from I was down, but now I'm back on my feet Here I am, I'm standing on the sidewalk I say no, you got no more cards to show 'Cause I've seen them As I go, you see my shadow from afar as I'm leaving You're deleted 'Cause I'm not buying the lies you sell I'm not in Heaven, I'm not in Hell I'm just standing on the sidewalk I'm just standing on the sidewalk I'm just standing on the sidewalk I'm just standing on the sidewalk I'm just standing on the sidewalk

It's been a long time since you felt peace In the valley you made where you're not meant to be Where the shame throws shadows on you But don't you forget That you're headed to more But you've settled for less Don't buy the lie "it's as good as it gets" The same feet that left you lost and alone Are the very same feet that can bring you back home Wherever you are, whatever you did It's a page in your book, but it isn't the end Your Father will meet you with arms open wide This is where your heart belongs Come running like a prodigal There will be nights, when you hear whispers Of the life you once knew, don't let it linger Cause there's a grace that falls upon you Don't you forget In the places you're weak He is very strong Don't ever believe "you don't deserve love" The same God that protects you when you're lost and alone Is the very same God that is calling you home Wherever you are, whatever you did It's a page in your book, but it isn't the end Your Father will meet you with arms open wide This is where your heart belongs Come running like a prodigal Oh... Let your life be made new Oh... As you come into view Your Father's not waiting, no he's running too He's running straight to you Wherever you are, whatever you did It's a page in your book, but it isn't the end Your Father will meet you with arms open wide This is where your heart belongs Come running like a prodigal

I was nothin' but a city boy My trumpet was my only toy I've been blowin' my horn Since I knew I was born But there ain't nobody wants to know I've been sleepin' on the sidewalk Rollin' down the road I may get hungry But I sure don't want to go home So 'round the corner comes a limousine And the biggest grin I ever seen Here, sonny, won't you sign? Right along the dotted line What you sayin', are you playin'? Sure you don't mean me? I've been sleepin' on the sidewalk Rollin' down the road I may get hungry But I sure don't want to go home (Now I tell you what happened...) They took me to a room without a table They said, "Blow your trumpet into here" I played around as well as I was able And soon, we had the record of the year I was a legend all through the land I was blowin' to a million fans Nothin' was a missin' All the people want to listen You'd have thought I was a happy man And I was sleepin' like a princess Never touch the road I don't get hungry And I sure don't want to go home (Have to have some fun...) Now, they tell me that I ain't so fashionable An' I owe the man a million bucks a year So I told 'em where to stick the fancy label It's just me and the road from here, yeah, yeah I'm back to playin' and layin' I'm back on the game I'm sleepin' on the sidewalk Rollin' down the road I sure get hungry and I sure do wanna go home (Yeah)

Sittin' there wrapped up tight in your flannel button-up With your arms around me Watchin' those flames dance high where nobody could find us Oh, but you sure found me Yeah, we were lightin' that fire Heatin' up the sky like a July rocket No, we never got tired We'd stay up all night and watch it Burn Like whiskey in my glass Even though it's sittin' on ice It's always gonna burn Little too hot real fast Like when you were mine, yeah That's the thing about your memory It's keeping me warm, but it's killing me Every time I think about you now Even though our love died out It's always gonna burn, burn, burn Riding 'round rag top down Little beach town Weekend on the water Under that gold moonshine Your lips on mine Couldn't get no hotter Yeah, we were soakin' it up Buzzin' on love and margaritas When I see the sand and the sun The salt in the air, I swear, I feel the Burn Like whiskey in my glass Even though it's sittin' on ice It's always gonna burn Little too hot real fast Like when you were mine, yeah That's the thing about your memory It's keeping me warm, but it's killing me Every time I think about you now Even though our love died out It's always gonna burn, burn, burn, yeah Hmm, it's always gonna burn just like this whiskey It's always gonna burn and make me wonder if you miss me That's the thing about your memory It's keeping me warm, but it's killing me Baby, when I think about you now Even though our love died out It's always gonna burn, burn, burn It's always gonna burn, burn, burn

I'm not supposed to be thinking 'bout you, lying here in this bed Too much has gone wrong and we should move on That's what we both said There's a million reasons why we said goodbye Why we couldn't try, couldn't fight for it anymore Put your ring in the back of the dresser drawer And we closed that door So why am I 2 A.M. pickin' up my phone And you're standin' in my porch light Backsliding Wearin' your old t-shirt in the mornin', it feels so right Backsliding We say we won't, But then we do the same old thing fallin' right back in Say it's gonna be the last time Backsliding, I'm backsliding Backsliding, I'm backsliding Well, I heard that you've been hangin' around with someone new Yeah, word gets around in such a small town Bet you heard I'm seein' someone too There's a million reasons why we should be happy Not lookin' back, livin' in the past anymore But they ain't addin' up, I guess they ain't enough 'Cause here I am At 2 A.M. pickin' up my phone And you're standin' in my porch light Backsliding Wearin' your old t-shirt in the mornin', it feels so right Backsliding We say we won't, but then We do the same old thing fallin' right back in Say it's gonna be the last time Backsliding, I'm backsliding Backsliding, I'm backsliding And we keep pushing, pulling back, sliding Pushing, pulling, slipping back, sliding I keep asking myself, keep asking myself Why do I need you and nobody else? If we're not meant to be then why do we keep backsliding? And why am I 2 A.M. pickin' up my phone And you're standin' in my porch light Backsliding Wearin' your old t-shirt in the mornin', it feels so right Backsliding We say we won't, oh but then we do, yeah The same old thing fallin' right back in Say it's gonna be the last time Backsliding, I'm backsliding Yeah, yeah I'm backsliding, yeah Backsliding Why do we keep backsliding? I can't help it, I'm backsliding I need you, I'm back sliding Why do we keep backsliding? Backsliding Backsliding Backsliding Backsliding
