[Chorus]
I'm still looking for something
I'm out here under the streetlight baby
I'm still looking for something in the night
I might be giving up something
You don't get something for nothing, baby
Nothing you can hold up to the light
If all I find is freedom, it's alright

[Verse 1]
And I knew since I was just little
The sharp edges of the world will whittle
Your dreams down to shavings at your feet
Gonna do my best not to settle
I know it's gonna test my mettle
To keep my options open
Even so I'm hoping

[Chorus]
And I'm still looking for something
I'm way out over my due date baby
I'm still looking for something in the night
I know I'm headed for somewhere
We all dream about somеwhere, baby
We all want to go whеre life is bright
You don't want to end up nowhere, but you might
[Verse 2]
And I knew since I was just little
The sharp edges of the world will whittle
Your expectations into something else
And I know beyond the tough titty
Somewhere there's a heart in the city
And I'm out here to find it
And the soulful smile behind it

[Chorus]
And I'm still looking for something
I'm out here under the neon, baby
Still looking for something in the night
I don't mind giving up something
You don't get something for nothing, baby
You don't give up on love without a fight
If I don't find it this time it's alright

[Outro]
Gonna keep my options open
Even though I'm hoping
For something I can hold up to the light
Don't know that I'll find it
Or the soulful smile behind it
If all I find is freedom, it's alright
