Somewhere Else Lyrics by David Redd

Somewhere Else

2021

Cigarettes and cigarettes
Empty coke can strewn on a parapet
"Have a Nice Day" scrawled on a bag that's wet with rain

Streetlights toss a silhouette
On the paper coffee cup doing pirouettes
He's showing off his stuff playing hard to get for change

But I'll keep my stare pointed squarely at the ground
Watch my feet in disbelief cuz they might just fail me now
Don't fail me now

So I'll think about you when I'm gone
Like I think about you everyday
As the sun beats down on the boulevard
I'll check the weather on Waverly Place

And I'll close my eyes at your sunrise
Get out of bed as you're grinding away
It's not the running part that's all that hard
It's finding somewhere else to stay

7th street and 2nd ave
Between the little shops and the yellow cabs
Walk up seven flights to my bachelor pad, that's where I'm from

Oh in rooms with of the alleyway
They say there's room for two but no closet space
So I'll store my dreams for another day to come
So I think it's time I finally move along
Nothing here except the fear that I can't write happy songs
I hope Im wrong

So I'll think about you when I'm gone
Like I think about you everyday
As the waves crash down and the crowds thin out
I'll check the weather on Waverly Place

And I'll close my eyes at your sunrise
Get out of bed as you're grinding away
It's not the running part that's all that hard
It's finding somewhere else to stay

And I wish that all your dreams come true
Except the ones I thought I shared with you
Except the ones I thought that everyone could see

And I wish that all your wishing wells
Turn those wishes into fairy tales
So I'm wishing that you'll wish me well
And wait up just for me

But I know that you won't wait and you won't sleep

So I'll think about you when I'm gone
... I think about you everyday
As my car sits parked on the boulevard
I'll check the weather on Waverly Place

And I'll close my eyes at your sunrise
Get out of bed as you're grinding away
It's not the running part that's all that hard
It's finding somewhere else to stay

Yeah I'll think about you when I'm gone
Take you with me on the way
It's not the running part that's all that hard
It's finding somewhere else to stay
