Scrape my nails across a brick Scrape my nails across a brick I'll describe my mornings in the early hours And my pulses are racing, my heart beats out loud I am north of the border and I'm cold and I sweatAnd I worry, I worry what tomorrow will bring Scrape my nails across a brick Scrape my nails across a brick I walk north of the border and step over the line To a place of frustration going out of my mind I've tried wearing bright colors to brighten my life But the truth cuts through fashion, yes, it cuts like a knife Feel itJust look at our faces, yes, they say more than words We're so lost in our problems, we're so lost in our world Yesterday, nothing, but today is okay I've enough to survive on, tomorrow's another day Scrape my nails across a brick Scrape my nails across a brick Scrape my nails across a brick Scrape my nails
