Next Best Thing

Lyrics

 

Separate Ways

Words and Music by: Todd Bauerle

A picture perfect world on the outside.

Bruised and broken hearts on the inside.

A wrecker to a wall, come falling down around.

A fission in a home waiting for the dawn.

 

And I go out at night ‘cuz they fight.

I go out to hide beneath the light.

The will go away, drive their separate ways.

They never turn their heads to see if I found my way.

 

Spent some days here and there, or to walk the road.

A new found balance shook be the guest in the home.

No place to stand, all the cracked concrete around.

Look within to find the pillar of light.

 

I stayed in at night ‘cuz of fright.

I stayed in to build up the light, so bright.

No one will go away, drive their separate ways

They never turn their heads to say I found my way.

 

     Look around see the happiness on the town,

     Look deep there is sadness on the street.

          I just sit here and cry. . .

          No one sees me sit here and cry. . .

          Listen to me cry, to me cry. . .

 

I won’t go away, drive my separate way.

‘Cuz the never tuned their heads to say I found my way.

           

I go out at night  not to fight.

I go out to shine my light, so bright.

I will go away, drive my separate way.

But they never turned their head to say I found my way.

 

I will go away, drive my separate way.

But they never turned their head to say I found my way.

 

          ‘Cuz I don’t want to live here anymore. . .

          No I don’t want to live here anymore. . .

          No I don’t want to live here anymore, anymore.
