the great divide

From the wrong side of the track
[LOUIS LOGIC, VERSE 1]
Im lookin at a chance to change my stars today
Across the platform but that sure seems far away
Youre on the brooklyn bound side, lookin 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
Thats corny, but I dont 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
Incase destiny and fate forget
I got a heavenly engagement set
And Ive been tryin to be an angel but Ive yet to meet my angelette
Id make a bet with myself, tell em to seize the day
Maybe pressure would help, theres seldom an easy way
If ever I felt that I would need to pray
Its safe for me to say itd be today
So now its like
[LOUIS LOGIC , CHORUS (SUNG)]
I just cant shake the feeling that theres something about you
And I dont want to leave here without you in my life
It just doesnt seem right
No matter how hopelessly I wish that you would notice me, you dont
Some guys make this look so easy
But thats just not me
[CHORUS (RAPPED)]
I wouldve loved to try to cross the tracks if I had courage
And fortune wouldve brought me back
[LOUIS LOGIC, VERSE 2]
Now is there something Im 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 Im homeless too
Im 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 transfered Id create a chance for you to depart
Is it usually hard to do what your hearts tellin you?
I wouldve moved from the start if I knew what the smart fellas do
This aint 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
Walkin in lead welded shoes- held down and powerless
To tell the truth I dont know how Ill come out of this
But if I dont take myself to you , youre gone, and thats how it is
[LOUIS LOGIC, CHORUS (SUNG)]
I just cant shake the feeling that theres something about you
And I dont want to leave here without you in my life
It just doesnt seem right
No matter how hopelessly I wish that you would notice me, you dont
Some guys make this look so easy
But thats just not me
[CHORUS (RAPPED )]
I wouldve loved to try to cross the tracks if I had courage
And fortune wouldve brought me back
[LOUIS LOGIC, VERSE 3]
With all these gaps that seperate us, will we meet
Or will this be another +Beat Street+, and Im ? ? ?
I cant let the anguish over a trek this dangerous
Or whether fate is with me tonight, decide were left as strangers
Who would accept the shamless coward who never tried
Starin at a better life on legs and just let it slide
Am I just petrified she wont say yes?
If I measured my reluctance would my hope weigh less?
Whether I miss my shift, miss my train, or whether or not
Its the same, I still sit in vain, left at the dock
Whatever the cops do, if they catch me or not
Ill measure the cost in knowing that I let her slip off
So its ready or not, now or never, across +The Great Divide+
I lept to the bottom and made for my ladies side
Well if this is to be the day I died
And judgement visits me, I can truely say I tried
[LOUIS LOGIC, CHORUS (SUNG)]
I just cant shake the feeling that theres something about you
And I dont want to leave here without you in my life
It just doesnt seem right
No matter how hopelessly I wish that you would notice me, you dont
Some guys make this look so easy
But thats just not me
[CHORUS (RAPPED)]
I wouldve loved to try to cross the tracks if I had courage
And fortune wouldve brought me back
