Did you stand there all a-lone?
DEm
Oh I cannot explain what’s going down

I can see you standing next to me

In and out some-where else right now

You can drive all night
DEm
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain

You wanna find a peace of mind
DEm
Looking for the answer
Verse 2

Funny how it turns out that everything was so wrong
Em
Now the feeling’s even more strong

If you ever see my face out on the streets

Now I know my place out in this world
