Pound the Pavement by The Blizzards Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I could put a finger on it
I wouldn't feel like counterfeit
But now I'm lying in a pool of my own sweat
Lost in the skin that I live in
Selling these lies that just won't be forgiven
And I'd write a novel on it
Just to hear the world tell me it's shit
'Cause that's how you think when its hush-hush, wink-wink, breaths on the brink
And the walls are caving in
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not gonna suffocate, no, not today
[Chorus]
I'm gonna pound, gonna pound the pavement
Each step is a life you're saving
Get up, get up, get up
Rather than stare at the ceiling
I'm gonna pound, gonna pound the pavement
These streets hold the peace your craving
Get up, get up, get up
Rather than drown in this feeling
[Verse 2]
If I could put a finger on it
I wouldn't feel like a hypocrite
But there's a crack in us all that'll we will never fix
This is the skin that we fit in
I have lost count for the sins I've forgiven
And the air loosens the grip
You can't ignore what really exists
Nor runaway, hide, choke, fear, or dismiss, no way to predict
Does this end or just begin?
[Chorus]
I'm gonna pound, gonna pound the pavement
Each step is a life you're saving
Get up, get up, get up
Rather than stare at the ceiling
I'm gonna pound, gonna pound the pavement
These streets hold the peace your craving
Get up, get up, get up
Rather than drown in this feeling
[Bridge]
And I will run 'til I can't feel anything
'Til the sweat, it breaks the fever
And my legs start giving in
And I'm not sure where I'm going
When I'm not sure where my mind went
I'll just pound the pavement
I'll just pound the pavement
[Chorus]
I'm gonna pound, gonna pound the pavement
Each step is a life you're saving
Get up, get up, get up
Rather than stare at the ceiling
I'm gonna pound, gonna pound the pavement
These streets hold the peace your craving
Get up, get up, get up
Rather than drown in this feeling
If I could put a finger on it
I wouldn't feel like counterfeit
But now I'm lying in a pool of my own sweat
Lost in the skin that I live in
Selling these lies that just won't be forgiven
And I'd write a novel on it
Just to hear the world tell me it's shit
'Cause that's how you think when its hush-hush, wink-wink, breaths on the brink
And the walls are caving in
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not gonna suffocate, no, not today
[Chorus]
I'm gonna pound, gonna pound the pavement
Each step is a life you're saving
Get up, get up, get up
Rather than stare at the ceiling
I'm gonna pound, gonna pound the pavement
These streets hold the peace your craving
Get up, get up, get up
Rather than drown in this feeling
[Verse 2]
If I could put a finger on it
I wouldn't feel like a hypocrite
But there's a crack in us all that'll we will never fix

I'll just pound the pavement

Get up, get up, get up
Rather than stare at the ceiling
I'm gonna pound, gonna pound the pavement
These streets hold the peace your craving
Get up, get up, get up
Rather than drown in this feeling
