|
From the wrong side of the track |
|
[LOUIS LOGIC, VERSE 1] |
|
I'm lookin at a chance to change my stars today |
|
Across the platform but that sure seems far away |
|
You're on the brooklyn bound side, lookin' down |
|
I live in Queens, and in between a car just came |
|
So I could like, give you a sign with my mind, or give a cough |
|
That's corny, but I don't want to find our signals crossed |
|
Or leave it up to chance you just get aboard the next train and jet |
|
And give me more next day regret |
|
So lets take a step to let this be the day we met |
|
Incase destiny and fate forget |
|
I got a heavenly engagement set |
|
And I've been tryin to be an angel but Ive yet to meet my angelette |
|
I'd make a bet with myself, tell 'em to seize the day |
|
Maybe pressure would help, theres seldom an easy way |
|
If ever I felt that I would need to pray |
|
Its safe for me to say it'd be today |
|
So now its like |
|
[LOUIS LOGIC, CHORUS (SUNG)] |
|
I just can't shake the feeling that theres something about you |
|
And I don't want to leave here without you in my life |
|
It just doesn't seem right |
|
No matter how hopelessly I wish that you would notice me, you don't |
|
Some guys make this look so easy |
|
But thats just not me |
|
[CHORUS (RAPPED)] |
|
I would've loved to try to cross the tracks if I had courage |
|
And fortune would've brought me back |
|
[LOUIS LOGIC, VERSE 2] |
|
Now is there something I'm supposed to do |
|
That would bring me close to you and end my single loner blues |
|
Cause you could think my messy hair and vintage clothes are cute |
|
Or when you stare back, you could think I'm homeless too |
|
I'm so confused about which road to choose |
|
Take the stairway over to your side, I shout an ode to you |
|
From afar, I probably sound like any dude in a bar |
|
And if I transfered I'd create a chance for you to depart |
|
Is it usually hard to do what your hearts tellin' you? |
|
I would've moved from the start if I knew what the smart fellas do |
|
This ain't the brand of love Hallmark cards sell to you; |
|
Seldom true, whimsy for the not-so-well-to-do |
|
So help me through all the the self doubt, and cowardice |
|
Walkin' in lead welded shoes- held down and powerless |
|
To tell the truth I don't know how I'll come out of this |
|
But if I don't take myself to you, you're gone, and thats how it is |
|
[LOUIS LOGIC, CHORUS (SUNG)] |
|
I just can't shake the feeling that theres something about you |
|
And I don't want to leave here without you in my life |
|
It just doesn't seem right |
|
No matter how hopelessly I wish that you would notice me, you don't |
|
Some guys make this look so easy |
|
But thats just not me |
|
[CHORUS (RAPPED)] |
|
I would've loved to try to cross the tracks if I had courage |
|
And fortune would've brought me back |
|
[LOUIS LOGIC, VERSE 3] |
|
With all these gaps that seperate us, will we meet |
|
Or will this be another +Beat Street+, and I'm ? ? ? |
|
I can't let the anguish over a trek this dangerous |
|
Or whether fate is with me tonight, decide were left as strangers |
|
Who would accept the shamless coward who never tried |
|
Starin at a better life on legs and just let it slide |
|
Am I just petrified she wont say yes? |
|
If I measured my reluctance would my hope weigh less? |
|
Whether I miss my shift, miss my train, or whether or not |
|
It's the same, I still sit in vain, left at the dock |
|
Whatever the cops do, if they catch me or not |
|
I'll measure the cost in knowing that I let her slip off |
|
So its ready or not, now or never, across +The Great Divide+ |
|
I lept to the bottom and made for my ladies side |
|
Well if this is to be the day I died |
|
And judgement visits me, I can truely say I tried |
|
[LOUIS LOGIC, CHORUS (SUNG)] |
|
I just can't shake the feeling that theres something about you |
|
And I don't want to leave here without you in my life |
|
It just doesn't seem right |
|
No matter how hopelessly I wish that you would notice me, you don't |
|
Some guys make this look so easy |
|
But thats just not me |
|
[CHORUS (RAPPED)] |
|
I would've loved to try to cross the tracks if I had courage |
|
And fortune would've brought me back |
