Rush Across The Road Lyrics - Joe Jackson

Of all the streets in the world 

You walk down this one 

And I see three hundred girls 

But just want to kiss one 

Someone that we've loved before 

Is a love forever 

But I never thought you'd floor me again 

Maybe I should 

Rush across the road 

Leave my heavy load behind 

It just takes a second to know your mind 

And do what you've got to do 

I'll rush across the road to catch up with you 

Catch up with you 

Some things come to an end 

Before they're done with 

Were we too young to be friends 

That you just have fun with? 

What were all our fights and fears? 

'Cause I can't remember 

And I've had enough of tears anyway 

So I think I'll 

Rush across the road 

Leave my heavy load behind 

It just takes a second to know your mind 

And do what you've got to do 

I'll rush across the road to catch up with you 

Catch up with you 

Time after time I'm reminded 

That it's a crime to say I've lost 

When I decline just to find out the final score 

Why can't I pass the line and defy the sign 

That says 'Don't Cross'? 

Or what am I living for? 

Funny how the blink of an eye 

Can last forever 

And how we think ourselves dry 

When it's 'now or never' 

If I wait for one more sigh 

You could turn and see me 

Then I'll never know what I would have done 

So I'm going to 

Rush across the road 

Leave my heavy load behind 

It just takes a second to know your mind 

And do what you've got to do 

I'll rush across the road to catch up with you 

Catch up with you
