lyrics

Woke up in the morning
Camera round my neck
And a bottle by my side

Sun rose bright
Over the ragged bushes
Shadows loomed above me
The hot wind kissed my face

I woke up in an alley
Walking down alone
Boxes piled up around me
Dumpsters by my side

Woke up in the morning
Camera round my neck
And a bottle by my side

Looked around to find you
Shaking off the pain

Sleeping all alone
On the cold hard pavement
A few layers of cardboard
Aren’t enough to protect you
From the exposure

Exposed and alone
Looking for you
Needing you
Going on

Seeing nothing
But the pretty proximity
Of where you’ve been
Thinking you must have been looking
at all the same things

Yeah, I woke up in the morning
With a camera around my neck
And a bottle by my side

I tried to shake it off
I knew if I kept walking
There was a chance
I might find you

I knew we would pass
Each other
I knew we could see the same things
Right there in front of us

It was almost like a test
How many things everywhere
Make life worthwhile
How many times did we pass

The same
Beautiful corners
The scraps of life
That had been blown in

Like Bits of wreckage
Like me and you

I looked
at the shadows
I imagined
One was you

I woke up in the alley
