[Verse 1]
No, the cabs here, they can't run down to your house
Sometimes, I sit and wish I were somewhere else
So let's dim the daylights for us sweethearts that we are
Sometimes I find myself still lying in your arms

[Pre-Chorus]
All the sweethearts of the world
Are out dancing in the places where me and all my friends
Go to hide our faces

[Chorus]
Avenues run one way
Streets they run the same
Something in the air here still keeps me away

[Verse 2]
No, the cabs here, they can't take me to your house
I get directions and pretend I was somewhere else
All the sweethearts of the world are out littering the bars
And I am still avenues from any place you are

[Chorus]
You know avenues run one way
Streets they run the same
It's gonna take a lot of shit for me
To stay away
