Walking By Lyrics by Something Corporate

Played In Space: The Best Of Something Corporate

2001

[Verse 1]
Your granddad left home for the circus
He was young just like me
With hope to explore
He married a girl in Virginia
She could swing the trapeze
They could sleep on the floor

[Verse 2]
Your mother was born in December
On the one sunny day that winter gave up
With warm summer eyes that flickered like fireflies
And she stared at the world

[Chorus]
So why do you leave these stories unfinished
My Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in your eyes?
And why do you look when you've already found it?
And what did you find that would leave you walking by?

[Verse 3]
She was raised in a New England village
Then she moved to LA with her firefly stare
And you loved sunset strip when it sparkled
You grew up and you sparkled, but why don't you care?

[Chorus]
And why do you leave these stories unfinished
My Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in your eyes?
And why do you look when you've already found me?
And what did you find that would leave you walking by?

[Verse 4]
And these nights I get high just from breathing
When I lie here with you I'm sure that I'm real
Like that firework over the freeway
I could stay here all day but that's not how you feel

[Chorus 2]
So why do you leave these questions unanswered?
The circus awaits and you're already gone
My Cheshire cat doorstop with fear in your smile
What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?
And what did I do that you can't seem to want me?
And why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes?
Where can I go that your pictures won't haunt me?
What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?
Walking by
Walking by
