Making My Way Downtown Lyrics

Refrain

Makin’ my way downtown
Walkin’ fast, faces pass
And I’m homebound
Starin’ blankly ahead
Just makin’ my way
Makin’ a way through the crowd

Pre-Chorus

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

Chorus

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
‘Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight

Verse

It’s always times like these when I think of you
And I wonder if you ever think of me
‘Cause everything’s so wrong, and I don’t belong
Livin’ in your precious memory

Pre-Chorus

‘Cause I’ll need you
And I’ll miss you
And now I wonder

Chorus

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
Oh, ’cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight

Bridge

I, I don’t wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don’t wanna let this go
I, I don’t

Refrain

Makin’ my way downtown
Walkin’ fast, faces pass
And I’m homebound
Starin’ blankly ahead
Just makin’ my way
Makin’ a way through the crowd
[Pre-Chorus] And I still need you
I still miss you
And now I wonder

Chorus

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by?
‘Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you, oh-oh
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
‘Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could just hold you
Tonight
