Grey Street

Oh, look at how she listens
 She says nothing of what she thinks
 She just goes stumbling through her memories
 Staring out on to Grey Street
 She thinks, "Hey, how did I come to this?
 I dream myself a thousand times around the world
 But I can't get out of this place"
 There's an emptiness inside her
 And she'd do anything to fill it in
 But all the colors mix together
 To grey
 And it breaks her heart
 How she wishes it was different
 She prays to God most every night
 And though she swears He doesn't listen
 There's still a hope in her He might
 She says, "I pray
 Oh, but they fall on deaf ears
 Am I supposed to take it on myself
 To get out of this place?"
 Oh, there's an loneliness inside her
 And she'd do anything to fill it in
 And though it's red blood bleeding from her now
 It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
 When all the colors mix together
 To grey
 And it breaks her heart
 
 There's a stranger, speaks outside her door
 Says, "Take what you can from your dreams
 Make them as real as anything
 Oh, it'll take the work out of the courage"
 But she says
 "Please, there's a crazy man that's creeping outside my door
 I live on the corner of Grey Street
 And the end of the world"
 Oh, there's an emptiness inside her
 And she'd do anything to fill it in
 And though it's red blood bleeding from her now
 It's more like cold blue ice in her heart
 She feels like kicking out all the windows
 And setting fire to this life
 She could change everything about her
 Using colors bold and bright
 But all the colors mix together
 To grey
 
 And it breaks her heart
 Oh, it breaks her heart
 To grey
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, now
 Ah, ah, ah, ooh, ooh
 It breaks her heart
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
 La-da-da
 La-da-da
 La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da
 La-da-da
 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
