Lyrics

Empty Sidewalks

I wish I had left a long time ago
I wish I had never tried
To unravel any meaning
From the emptiness inside
I wish I’d believed there was something else
Than the world you carried up upon your feet
Now I’m left with sidewalks
And there aren’t any streets

Walking on empty sidewalks, searching with empty eyes

How this world will make you wonder
Before you make your move
Then your left empty handed
And the man beside you has too much food
How I wish I knew
What this world was coming to
I’m left with too many options
But not a goddamn thing to lose

Walking on empty sidewalks, searching with empty eyes

I’m gonna find my way…
You know I’m gonna find my way

It’s so hard to move when you don’t want to
And find the strength to wrestle with your will
Happiness it only brings you down
The pain it only keeps you still
I might try one of these mornings
To raise my aching head up off your floor
But I know that when I turn to go
You’re only gonna please me with more

Walking on empty sidewalks, searching with empty eyes
