Grey Street

Grey Street - Dave Matthews Band
Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling
Through her memories
Staring out on to
Grey Street

She thinks
"Hey
How did I come to this?
I dream myself a thousand times
Around the world
But I can't get out of this place"

There's an emptiness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together
To grey
And it breaks her heart

How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears
He doesn't listen
There's still a hope in her
He might

She says
"I pray
But they fall
On deaf ears
Am I supposed to take it
On myself
To get out of this place?"

There's loneliness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood
Bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together
To grey
And it breaks her heart

There's a stranger speaks
Outside her door
Says take what you can
From your dreams
Make them as real
As anything
It'd take the work out of the courage

But she says
"Please
There's a crazy man that's creeping
Outside my door
I live on the corner of
Grey Street and the end of the world"

There's an emptiness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood
Bleeding from her now
It's more like cold blue ice in her heart

She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything
About her
Using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together
To grey
And it breaks her heart
It breaks her heart

To grey, yeah...
