Artist: Dave Matthews Band
Song: Grey Street

Oh look at how she listens 
She says nothing of what she thinks 
She just goes stumbling through her memories 
Staring out on to Grey Street 

She thinks, “Hey, 
How did I come to this? 
I dream myself a thousand times around the world, 
But I can’t get out of this place” 

There’s an emptiness inside her 
And she’d do anything to fill it in 
But all the colors mix together - to grey 
And it breaks her heart 

How she wishes it was different 
She prays to God most every night 
And though she swears it doesn’t listen 
There’s still a hope in her it might 

She says, “I pray 
But they fall on deaf ears, 
Am I supposed to take it on myself? 
To get out of this place” 

There’s loneliness inside her 
And she’d do anything to fill it in 
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now 
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart 
When all the colors mix together - to grey 
And it breaks her heart 

There’s a stranger speaks outside her door 
Says take what you can from your dreams 
Make them as real as anything 
It’d take the work out of the courage 

But she says, “Please 
There’s a crazy man that’s creeping outside my door, 
I live on the corner of Grey Street and the end of the world” 

There’s an emptiness inside her 
And she’d do anything to fill it in 
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now 
It’s more like cold blue ice in her heart 
She feels like kicking out all the windows 
And setting fire to this life 
She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright 
But all the colors mix together - to grey 
And it breaks her heart 
It breaks her heart 
To grey
