The road gets lonely as the street lights pass me by

Sometimes if only you could be here by my side

And oh in the distance a young boy takes his life

Oh in the silence a woman shouts and cries

Oh oh oh oh oh oh it’s us against the world

Oh oh oh oh oh oh it’s us against the world

Sitting by the lakeside with a bottle in my hand

Somewhere there’s someone who will truly understand

And oh in the distance the the street lights pass me by

And oh in the silence a soul has left this life

Oh oh oh oh oh oh it’s us against the world

Oh oh oh oh oh oh it’s us against the world

If there was only a way to make things right

Then you would be here as the streets lights pass me by

Oh in the silence things just don’t seem right

And oh how I wish you could be here by my side

Oh oh oh oh oh oh it’s us against the world

Oh oh oh oh oh oh it’s us against the world
