[Verse 1]
On a Tuesday in the rain, I never thought there'd come a day
I never thought there'd come a day, yeah
If I put myself to the test, would I ever raise a fist?
Would I just shut my mouth, would I just block it out?

[Chorus]
I've swore it a million times never to be left again with that feeling
Of hopelessness, left standing, just nervous in the alley
I've swore it a million times never to be left again with that feeling
Of hopelessness, left standing, just nervous in the alley, whoa

[Refrain]
Just nervous in the alley

[Verse 2]
And when all is said and through, would I know just what to do?
Would I know just what to do, yeah?
If I put myself to the test, would I ever raise a fist?
Would I just shut my mouth, would I just block it out?

[Chorus]
I've swore it a million times never to be left again with that feeling
Of hopelessness, left standing, just nervous in the alley
I've swore it a million times never to be left again with that feeling
Of hopelessness, left standing, just nervous in the alley, woah
[Refrain]
Whoa, just nervous in the alley
Whoa, just nervous in the alley
Whoa, just nervous in the alley
Whoa, oh

[Bridge]
It's a change of heart that keeps us apart
You say it's true, you know it's true, nothing left except for me and you
It's not that strange with all I have to say
I wonder what I'm fighting for, yeah

[Chorus]
I've swore it a million times never to be left again with that feeling
Of hopelessness, left standing, just nervous in the alley
I've swore it a million times never to be left again with that feeling
Of hopelessness, left standing, just nervous in the alley, woah

[Refrain]
Whoa, just nervous in the alley
Whoa, just nervous in the alley
Whoa, just nervous in the alley
Whoa, just nervous in the alley
