Sidewalk Hearts Lyrics

Oooh ooh ooh sha la ladada

Oooh ooh ooh Sha la ladada

Oooh ooh ooh Sha la lada

Bag of silver, bar of gold, a platinum band on a man's hand is no caregiver when he's old

I was not looking forward to life's greatest reward

To find fulfillment in failure left me cold

When I'd walk down the sidewalk by your side I knew I'd walk with my pride anywhere that you'd decide

Then you walked out on me and I ran all out of heartbeats and my concrete reality died

I drew our hearts into the sand, they never really had a chance

A wayward wave crept in and swept them away

To prove to you how much we meant I carved our hearts in fresh cement in a world impermanent

I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry

I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry

Ounce of prevention, pound of cure, a pinch to grow another inch out of resentment to be sure

I take steps incrementally, still slip sentimentally, my mental well being's insecure

But my heart's in the right place by your heart and though it's heavy, if it hardens it might just break apart

And my finger still traces in the negative spaces, never-ending to make a new start

I drew our hearts across the sky, they grew apart so way up high

A willful wind flew in and blew them away

To prove to you how much we meant I carved our hearts in fresh cement in a world impermanent

Now I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry

I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry

And I say oooh ooh ooh sha la ladada

Oooh ooh ooh Sha la ladada

Now I lay on the pavement all alone prone to laying the blame on how it went down but still you're gone

So these tears that I'm crying might keep these hearts from drying and my whole world from turning to stone

I drew our hearts onto a wall, they looked so small next to it all

A raging rain crashed in and washed them away

To prove to you how much we meant I carved our hearts in fresh cement in a world impermanent

Now I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry

I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry

No, I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry

No, I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry

And I say ooh ooh ooh sha la

I won't let them dry. Ooh, baby.

Can't stop these tears I'm crying

They keep our hearts from drying

Can't stop these tears I'm crying

They keep our hearts from drying

Can't stop these tears I'm crying

They keep our hearts from drying

No, I just can't dry all my tears.
