[Verse 1]
Walked to the corner
Stood in the cold wind and felt the
Time passing me by
Under a cover
All frozen over, and I know
My knuckles are white
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm stuck in a hard place
Out in the rat race
Like everybody else
And this one is a big wall
I'm in for the long haul
Trying to remind myself
[Chorus]
It's just a head cold
It's just a head cold
[Verse 2]
Need a little push now
Some kind of a shake down
So come here
Anything
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm caught in the landslide
Stuck on the inside
Like everybody else
And this one is a big wall
I'm in for the long haul
Trying to remind myself
[Chorus]
It's just a head cold
It's just a head cold
It's just a head cold
It's just a head cold
[Bridge]
It's nothing
It's not loneliness
Nobody came in on a bed of red roses
Keep moving
Everyone is
Doors always open when another one closes
[Chorus]
It's just a head cold
It's just a head cold
It's just a head cold
It's just a head cold
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
