Streetlight Manifesto - Toe to Toe lyrics
[Streetlight Manifesto - Toe to Toe lyrics]
Some day you will grow up and learn to lie
Just like your daddy did when he told
You no one ever really dies
I hope that I'm not there when you realize
That those with their nose in the air
Will never look you in the eye
And you will go toe to toe
Like David and Goliath who will be Goliath?
And will you throw the stone?
I don’t know, yeah I don’t know
Said the man with all of the answers
If he don’t have the answers
Then How will I ever know?
I knew an old man
With nothing to do but wait
He invited himself
And he still showed up late
When it came to the end of
The night he would always overstay
But, I never had a reason to complain
Until the day he stopped coming by
And I missed his company
And you will go toe to toe
Like David and Goliath they will be Goliath
And you will throw the stone
I don’t know, yeah I don’t know
Said the man with all of the answers
If he don’t have the answers
How will I ever know?
And I don’t care what you do with the
Little time everyone gets
As long as you do the math
Choose a path that will
Never hurt anyone else
Although they'll hurt you
Make damn sure they've heard you
They will not forget
Someday I will find you and stop on by
And you’ll say "how've you been?" and
I’ll say "I’ve been fine"
We will both know that it's a lie
It turns out what I figured out is
I was wrong and you were right
And you will go toe to toe
Like David and Goliath they will be Goliath
And you will throw the stone
I don’t know yeah I don’t know
Said the man with all of the answers
If he don’t have the answers
How will I ever know?
Just like your daddy did when he told
You no one ever really dies
I hope that I'm not there when you realize
That those with their nose in the air
Will never look you in the eye
And you will go toe to toe
Like David and Goliath who will be Goliath?
And will you throw the stone?
I don’t know, yeah I don’t know
Said the man with all of the answers
If he don’t have the answers
Then How will I ever know?
I knew an old man
With nothing to do but wait
He invited himself
And he still showed up late
When it came to the end of
The night he would always overstay
But, I never had a reason to complain
Until the day he stopped coming by
And I missed his company
And you will go toe to toe
Like David and Goliath they will be Goliath
And you will throw the stone
I don’t know, yeah I don’t know
Said the man with all of the answers
If he don’t have the answers
How will I ever know?
And I don’t care what you do with the
Little time everyone gets
As long as you do the math
Choose a path that will
Never hurt anyone else
Although they'll hurt you
Make damn sure they've heard you
They will not forget
Someday I will find you and stop on by
And you’ll say "how've you been?" and

We will both know that it's a lie

And you will throw the stone
I don’t know yeah I don’t know
Said the man with all of the answers
If he don’t have the answers
How will I ever know?
