lyrics

I'm looking for someone

Woke to the city like a shotgun
Bullet holes of sunshine
Emerge into the street or what shelter
We might find

These are tough times
Lucky we can wander
High rises and hate crimes
Life we're given squandered
And I see

There's a light on the back of a greyhound bus
And a sign that reads "In God We Trust"
Beginning of the end or a sign of the times?
Not really sure all I know is that

I'm looking for someone
To walk through this world with me
Through the breaking waves
To the bottom of the sea

It won't always be pretty
But if we're always ourselves
Then we'll always be free

To be better tomorrow
Than I am today
But if I fail
To be loved just the same

Simple and plain
I'm caught in the rain
Not a thing to do

But wander around
over this side of town
'Cause I know what I've found
And I will not confound it

I'm looking for someone
To walk through this world with me
Through the breaking waves
To the bottom of the sea

It won't always be pretty
But if we're always ourselves
Then we'll always be free

To dream an orchestra of these six strings
The sullen overture of life that seems
Only pictures on a vibrant screen
And I forget it's raining
