Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You could meet somebody, you never know
From brief encounters habits grow
Into giant oaks that hide the sun
Life in the shadows ain't no fun
[Verse 2]
It's easy getting up there, never think of coming down
Not hard to say I want you when you're floating on a cloud
But you know that lonely feeling and you know things ain't right
'Cause it's only the beginning of a cold and sleepless night
[Verse 3]
You could meet somebody, you never know
From brief encounters, habits grow
Into giant oaks that hide the sun
Your only chance is to turn and run
[Verse 4]
You could meet somebody, you never know
From brief encounters, habits grow
Into giant oaks that hide the sun
Your only chance is to turn and run
[Verse 5]
It's harder getting up there, and it's painful coming down
'Cause now you can't see clearly beneath the thunder cloud
And the loneliness gets longer when nothing's goin' right
And things ain't getting any better with another sleepless night
[Verse 6]
You could meet somebody, you never know
From brief encounters, habits grow
Into giant oaks that hide the sun
Your only chance is to turn and run
[Verse 7]
You could meet somebody, you never know
From brief encounters, habits grow
Into giant oaks that hide the sun
Your only chance is to turn and run
[Verse 8]
You could meet somebody, you never know
From brief encounters, habits grow
Into giant oaks that hide the sun
Your only chance is to turn and run
[Verse 9]
You could meet somebody, you never know
From brief encounters, habits grow
