Ooh-ooh-ooh, sha-la-la-la-la
Ooh-ooh-ooh, sha-la-la-la-la
Ooh-ooh-ooh, sha-la-la-la-la
Bag of silver, bar of gold, a platinum band on a man's hand is no caregiver when he's old
I was not looking forward to life's greatest reward To find fulfillment in failure left me cold
When I'd walk down the sidewalk by your side I knew I'd walk with my pride anywhere that you'd decide
Then you walked out on me and I ran all out of heartbeats and my concrete reality died
I drew our hearts into the sand, they never really had a chance
A wayward wave crept in and swept them away
To prove to you how much we meant I carved our hearts in fresh cement in a world impermanent
I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry
I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry
Ounce of prevention, pound of cure, a pinch to grow another inch out of resentment to be sure
I take steps incrementally, still slip sentimentally, my mental well being's insecure
But my heart's in the right place by your heart and though it's heavy, if it hardens it might just break apart
And my finger still traces in the negative spaces, never ending to make a new start
I drew our hearts across the sky, they grew apart so way up high
A willful wind flew in and blew them away
To prove to you how much we meant I carved our hearts in fresh cement in a world impermanent
Now I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry, I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry, and I say
Ooh-ooh-ooh, sha-la-la-la-la, ooh-ooh-ooh, sha-la-la
Now I lay on the pavement all alone prone to laying the blame on how it went down but still you're gone
So these tears that I'm crying might keep these hearts from drying and my whole world from turning to stone
I drew our hearts onto a wall, they looked so small next to it all
A raging rain crashed in and washed them away
To prove to you how much we meant I carved our hearts in fresh cement in a world impermanent
Now I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry
I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry
No, I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry
No, I won't let our sidewalk hearts dry, and I say
Ooh-ooh-ooh, sha-la, I won't let 'em dry, ooh baby
Can't stop these tears I'm crying
They keep our hearts from drying
Can't stop these tears I'm crying
They keep our hearts from drying
Can't stop these tears I'm crying
They keep our hearts from drying
No I just can't dry all my tears.
