Pavement Cracks lyrics

The city streets are wet again with rain

But I'm walkin' just the same

Skies turn to the usual grey

When you turn to face the day

And love don't show up in the pavement cracks

All my watercolours fade to black

I'm goin' nowhere and I'm ten steps back

All my dreams have fallen flat

Love don't show up in the pavement cracks

There will be no turning back

Time and space will pass us by and by

When we don't see eye to eye

I would have done anything

For happiness to bring…

But it don't show up in the pavement cracks

I can't even cover up my tracks

I'm goin' nowhere and I'm light years back

Ooh, I wish you well

How come every day

I'm still waiting for the change?

How come I still say

"Give me strength to live"?

Love don't show up in the pavement cracks

There will be no turning back

Where is my comfort zone?

A simple place to call my own?

'Cause everything I wanna be

Comes crashing down on me

And it don't show up in the pavement cracks (It don't show up in the pavement cracks)

I can't even recognise my tracks (I can't even recognise my tracks)

You and I can't turn the whole thing back

Ooh, I wish you well

And it don't show up in the pavement cracks

There will be no turning back
