Today I saw another place I can cross off my list A place I still remember where we used to kiss Now it can join the buses and planes and the trains In the garbage heap of memories at the back of my brian And yeah we used to travel every weekend we could I thought it was for us but how I misunderstood You were only running from your past five years On a break up so severe you never got to the tears And oh is this really what you wanted Now your past in only haunting What you're supposed to have with me
I got these streets Doesn't matter where I'm going I got these streets Walk away from what I'm knowing I got these streets Walls that never see me crying Strangers pass by Where you were once there by my side
You would be the driver while the passenger seat Was filled with just a man you never wanted to meet And my mother even told me that you were'nt so discrete And we had to face our demons on our own terms you see I suppose I should be thankful or even be glad That I helped you find a place at least that wasn't so sad But now I'm just a moment where you'll look back and smile So I'll look to my speedo and count every mile
And oh is this really what you wanted Now your past in only haunting What you're supposed to have with me
I got these streets Doesn't matter where I'm going I got these streets Walk away from what I'm knowing I got these streets Walls that never see me crying Strangers pass by Where you were once there by my side Oh oh oh strangers pass me by Oh oh Everyone says let go What am I holding to But I can't even tell them Cos I no longer know you But I got these streets Doesn't matter where I'm going I got these streets Walk away from what I'm knowing I got these streets Walls that never see me crying Strangers pass by Where you were once there by my side Oh oh oh strangers pass me by Oh oh Oh oh oh strangers pass me by Oh oh
