lyrics

All I get is raining on a Sunday afternoon
Lying here in this hard hit town where there’s nothing left to do
And all those words keep shining in, someday I’ll overcome
Lying here with the same old fears
Where the love is on the run

Chorus:
Now everyday
There’s panic on the street
And panic on my face
I’m falling on my knees
I’ve got to find a better way

Tomorrow seems too heavy so I’m drinking cheap red wine
I told myself that I’d change my ways but I’m running out of time
And all I wants to fly away, to feel the burning sun
But I’m lying here on the brink of tears

Monday blues are chasing and I start to lose my way
They’re tearing down this old brick town and putting nothing in its place
Still all those words keep shining in, someday I’ll overcome
lying here in the grip of fear
With the lovers on the run

Chorus:
Now everyday
There’s panic on the street
And panic on my face
I’m falling on my knees
I’ve got to find a better way

I’ve got to find a better way, I’ve got to find a better way
