[Intro]
Look, I know you miss her man, but...
But you can't keep doing this to yourself
She's moved on
Meanwhile you're out there just
Walking the streets at night
Alone, in a river of darkness
[Verse 1]
Glowing windows in the buildings
From the elevated train
I see a thousand different stories pass
And faces without names
[Verse 2]
Forget why I came here
And I forget why I stay
And wonder if they'd notice
If I slipped away
[Verse 3]
What if I kept going
If I don't get off tonight
What if I ride this to the edges
Through the darkness to the light
[Chorus]
Could I find you there?
Could I find you there?
If I slipped away?
[Verse 3]
What if there's no answer
We're all just hearts that have to fight
Through the dangers of the rapids
Through the darkness to the light
[Chorus]
Could I find you there?
Could I find you there?
If I slipped away?
[Outro]
Look, I know you miss her man, but...
But you can't keep doing this to yourself
She's moved on
Meanwhile you're out there just
Walking the streets at night
Alone, in a river of darkness
