Louis Logic - The Great Divide lyrics
[Louis Logic - The Great Divide lyrics]
From the wrong side of the track
I'm looking at a chance to
Change my stars today
Across the platform but that
Sure seems far away
You're on the Brooklyn bound side
Looking down i live in Queens
And in between a car just came
So I could like, give you
A sign with my mind, or give a cough
That's corny
But, I don't want to find our signals crossed
Or leave it up to chance you just
Get aboard the next train and jet
And give me more next day regret
So lets take a step to let
This be the day we met
In case destiny and fate forget
I got a heavenly engagement set
And I've been trying to be an angel
But, I've yet to meet my angelette
I'd make a bet with myself
Tell 'em to seize the day
Maybe pressure would help
There's seldom an easy way
If ever I felt that I would need to pray
Its safe for me to say it'd be today
So now it's like
I just can't shake the feeling
That there's something about you
And I don't want to leave here
Without you in my life
It just doesn't seem right
No matter how hopelessly I wish
That you would notice me, you don't
Some guys make this look so easy
But that's just not me
I would've loved to try to cross
The tracks if I had courage
And fortune would've brought me back
Now is there something I'm supposed to do
That would bring me close to you
And end my single loner blues
Cause you could think my messy hair
And vintage clothes are cute
Or when you stare back
You could think I'm homeless too
I'm so confused about which road to choose
Take the stairway over to your side
I shout an ode to you from afar
I probably sound like any dude in a bar
And if I transferred I'd create a
Chance for you to depart
Is it usually hard to do
What your hearts telling you?
I would've moved from the start if I
Knew what the smart fellas do
This ain't the brand of love
Hallmark cards sell to you
Seldom true, whimsy for the not-so-well-to do
So help me through all the the self doubt
And cowardice walking in lead welded shoes-
Held down and powerless
To tell the truth I don't know
How I'll come out of this
But, if I don't take myself
To you, you're gone, and that's how it is
With all these gaps that separate us
Will we meet?
Or will this be another Beat Street
And I'm set as Ramo
I can't let the anguish over
A trek this dangerous
Or whether fate is with me tonight
Decide were left as strangers
Who would accept the shameless
Coward who never tried
Staring at a better life on legs
And just let it slide
Am I just petrified she won't say yes?
If I measured my reluctance would
My hope weigh less?
Whether I miss my shift, miss my train
Or whether or not
It's the same, I still sit in vain
Left at the dock
Whatever the cops do, if they catch me or not
I'll measure the cost in knowing that
I let her slip off
So, it's ready or not, now or never
Across The Great Divide
I leapt to the bottom and
Made for my ladies side
Well if this is to be the day I died
And judgment visit's me
I can truly say I tried
I'm looking at a chance to
Change my stars today
Across the platform but that
Sure seems far away
You're on the Brooklyn bound side
Looking down i live in Queens
And in between a car just came
So I could like, give you
A sign with my mind, or give a cough
