Maybe I'm not one to look past all the years I slave away But I'm far from where I'll be someday They'll find me free from them at last Picking up pieces of me Pieces of me
But my head's down on the pavement Wondering where the years went All the time I spent Under eyes full of contempt
My mind's still a crutch as I stand at the edge Of what's ahead, I'm frozen instead
I might be chasing pipe dreams At least I'm chasing something More than shadows on the city street
They always said that I was green That I won't amount to anything More than shadows on the city street They'll take back everything
I'm not one to look past all the times I've been outcast But someday I know that They'll find me free from them at last Picking up pieces of me Pieces of me
When will I get to prove to them? When will I get my chance to win?
Someday I'll finally piece myself together Yeah
But my head's down on the pavement Wondering where the years went All the time I spent Under eyes full of contempt
My mind's still a crutch as I stand at the edge Of what's ahead, I'm frozen instead
I might be chasing pipe dreams At least I'm chasing something More than shadows on the city street
They always said that I was green That I won't amount to anything More than shadows on the city street They'll take back everything
