And all this writing on the wall
Rain come down forgive this dirty town
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
As you'd sleep I'd think my heart would break in two
I'd kiss your cheek
And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
Rain come down give this dirty town
If I been hard on you
Rain coming down to wash away my fears
I'd stop myself from wakin' you
If I been hard on you
Don't you think of me sometime?
So far from home
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
I never wanted no one else
Sky is crying, see the streets are full of tears
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
If I been hard on you
Cos it's another dirty river and another dirty scar
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
And all this writing on the wall
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
Now you and me go parallel together and apart
I never wanted no one else
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
Yes and if my love's in vain, how come my love is so strong ?
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
And I don't know who's kissing you and I don't know where you are
Did you never feel the distance?
I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
I never chose to be
Supposed to be
Oh, here I am baby I'm coming back for more
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
You'd say, "Baby, what's wrong?"
Did you never try to cross no line?
Oh I can read between the lines
I never chose to be
A drink of water
A drink of wine
I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore
I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
But in the dark you'd speak my name
If I been hard on you
