This Town

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Walking through these empty streets, this town is dead Rain is coming harder now upon your head You can't get far enough away What's it matter anyway? You never win [Verse 2] They handed you a map to show you where to go Gave you everything but what you need to know You know your friends enough to say Where they'll be on any day Come what may [Chorus] Surprise (Surprise), surprise (Surprise) The morning sun is in your eyes Get up throw that life away Yesterday is yesterday And lies (Lies), they lied (Lied) They said you get what you deserve in life But that's just not the way it seems You end up living someone else's dreams [Post-Chorus] It's true, it follows you around You don't have to love this town [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Friday night beneath the bridge, just one more time You wish that you could leave this dirty town behind There never seems to be a way Hold on for another day You will find [Chorus] Surprise (Surprise), surprise (Surprise) The sun that hits your lonely eyes It wipes out every other day Yesterday is yesterday And lies (Lies), they lied (Lied) It's not what you deserve It's what you try and try and try again Failing's just a step along the way [Post-Chorus] It's true, there's no one here for you In time you wait and you will find The ones who never let you down, oh You don't have to love this town
