Making My Way Downtown Lyrics
[Piano Intro]
Refrain
Makin’ my way downtown
Walkin’ fast, faces pass
And I’m homebound
Starin’ blankly ahead
Just makin’ my way
Makin’ a way through the crowd
Pre-Chorus
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
Chorus
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
‘Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight
Verse
It’s always times like these when I think of you
And I wonder if you ever think of me
‘Cause everything’s so wrong, and I don’t belong
Livin’ in your precious memory
Pre-Chorus
‘Cause I’ll need you
And I’ll miss you
And now I wonder
Chorus
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
Oh, ’cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight
Bridge
I, I don’t wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don’t wanna let this go
I, I don’t
Refrain
Makin’ my way downtown
Walkin’ fast, faces pass
And I’m homebound
Starin’ blankly ahead
Just makin’ my way
Makin’ a way through the crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
And I still need you
I still miss you
And now I wonder
Chorus
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by?
‘Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you, oh-oh
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
‘Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could just hold you
Tonight
