Streets
Matthew and the Judes Lyrics

Oh, just sitting while she listens
He is sitting down while she is talking and he is listening to her.

She says I don't need this place
She expresses that she does not require this place anymore.

It seems a million years she's stuck here
She feels that she's been stuck here for an eternity.

But says nothing of what she thinks
Though she thinks a lot, she does not communicate it with anyone.

She thinks, "Hey, How did I come to this?
She questions how her life has brought her to this point.

I dreamt like anybody else one night
She had dreams like everyone else once upon a time.

I would be a beautiful princess."
She would dream of being a beautiful princess.

But then the roads in the park fall
Suddenly the roads in the park collapse.

And then she rode the line in
She gets on the bus/train and embarks on a journey.

And the colors mix together to grey
All the colors mix to create a dismal grey hue.

And break me out
This experience has an intense impact on her.

Oh, when I'm indifferent
When he is indifferent towards something.

She prays to God most every night
She prays to God almost every night.

Although she swears He doesn't listen
Although she thinks God doesn't listen to her prayers.

There's hope in her that He just might
Despite her doubts, she has hope that God might listen to her.

She says, "I pray
She communicates that she prays.

But then my prayer fall on deaf ears
However, she doesn't feel like her prayers are being heard.

I'm supposed to take it all myself
She has to rely on herself to get out of this situation.

To get out of this place."
She has to leave this place for her own good.

She feels the lumps in the heart fall
She can feel the heaviness in her heart lift.

And she rose up in the back
She continues on her journey with determination.

She hears the cars scream out from outside
She can hear the commotion that's happening outside.

And she whispers sometimes about this
Occasionally, she speaks about what she's experiencing.

But the colors mix together to grey
However, all the colors become grey once again.

And wake me up
This experience is a wakeup call for her.

Oh, he grows up living
He matures by living his life.

He says take what you can from your dreams
He suggests making the most of one's aspirations.

Make them real as anything
Turn your fantasies into reality.

It takes the work out of the courage
Having a goal gives you the strength to achieve it.

She said, "Please,
She pleaded with someone.

There's a crazy man standing outside my door
There is an insane person outside her door.

I live on the corner of a dead-end street
She stays on a street that is closed from both sides.

At the end of the world."
It feels like the apocalypse has arrived.

Oh, and the rocks out in the heart fall
The feeling of heaviness in her heart goes away.

And she dreams her way to life
She dreams of a better life.

And she knows no one will lift her
She is aware that nobody can help her out of this situation.

So she might as well do it herself
The only way out of this is if she does it herself.

And then bummed out and worried
Feeling sad and anxious.

Of leaving city life
Concerned about abandoning urban living.

But all the colors mix together to grey
Still, everything turns back to grey.

On Grey Street
This street seems to be particularly grey and dismal.

On Grey Street
The street is referred to once again.

To Grey Street"
The end destination is, once again, Grey Street.

Oh, when it comes down in your loving
When you are in love, everything seems okay.

Oh, well then baby it's right
If it feels right, then it is.

You say you think you are nothing
You might think that you are nothing.

No one else will do it for you
You are the only one who can make changes in your life.

Reach up and grab hold of the sunlight
Make the most of life's opportunities.

When you are waiting for what's right
Be patient when waiting for the good stuff.

You're holding on your Heaven
You hold the key to your own happiness.

Won't leave you, yeah, yeah...
It will always be with you.

And the colors mix together to grey
Once again, everything goes back to grey.

Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up
Trying to be ripped out of this drowsy state of being.

To grey.
All roads lead to grey.
