 []                        []           []
What you're looking for is never what you find  *1
 []          []              []
Nothing ever seems to turn out right  *1 

[]                       []
Still running around still searching
          []              []
all these long indifferent streets
         []          []
For your lover or some cover
    []                 []
to protect you from the heat
                []
That you feel inside  *2
 []                []       []
inflamed since you learned to cry



[]                       []          []
Ever since you learned to walk you ran away  *1
[]                   []                []
kept running till you couldn't feel your legs  *1

        []                []
Now you stumble round this drunken town
     []             []
pawn shops and titty bars
        []              []
telling tales of just how far you got
       []                   []
But they'll all know who you are
                    []
Yeah you're not so great  *2
            []   []        []
You're just early out of the gate



           []             []              []
there's a portrait of your mom when she was young   *1
     []             []             []
Her face was shining brightly as the sun   *1

    []         []
The son who got away from her
    []            []
but came back home again
   []         []
to find a women wrapped
               []              []
with all this love she couldn't give
                 []
But you know she did  *2
         []      []     []
You just couldn't feel it then



        []                      []           []
Found a birthday card from this lady I used to know   *1
        []                []            []
It said boy you're really starting to get old   *1

          []         []
She's the mother of my mother
  []                []
I knew just what she meant
      []            []
She'd been through it before
              []            []
she'd known of all of this resentment
       []
becomes regret  *2
       []     []         []
I just hadn't gotten there yet  *1

[]         []              [][]
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
   []         []              [][]
No never, never seems to turn out right
                 []
So I leave it at this  *2
   [][]    []
my deepest regret
