The Ivy (USA)
Thirty Eight
Verse 1
Burning through the days with an endless fuse
And watching all the cars hoping I see you
If only I had known then that I’d be here
I would’ve kept you in my head just to stay clear
I wasn’t looking for the warning in disguise
Pre chorus:
A new year takes its toll
And nothing’s changed I know
Chorus:
Another summer to spend alone
Another search for someone to phone
Another hour to waste with empty spaces, pointless chases
I know you don’t care about me now
I’m living with a hope that we somehow
Make it back to the thirty-eighth street days
Verse 2:
I never got the taste out of my mouth
Of fake love sweet enough to make me drown
And no I never got the timeline matched up
But I’ll keep playing on the strings of bad luck
And you know I never wanna tell you lies
Pre chorus:
The way it seems to go
Nothing’s changed I know
Chorus:
Another summer to spend alone
Another search for someone to phone
Another hour to waste with
Empty spaces, pointless chases
I know you don’t care about me now
I’m living with a hope that we somehow
Make it back to the thirty-eighth street days
Final Chorus
I know you don’t care about me now!
I’m living with a hope that we somehow
Make it back to the thirty-eighth street days
Maybe we were never meant to figure out
Whats the point in even trying to think of how
To make it back to the thirty-eighth street days
I know you don’t care about me now
I’m living with a hope that we somehow
Make it back to the thirty-eighth street days
