Lyrics

LOOKIN' FOR A REASON TO STAY

Susan Julian

SHE PUTS HER FACE ON IN THE MORNIN'
LOOKIN IN THE MIRROR
LOOKIN AT ANOTHER DAY
?MY LIFE'S CHANGED SINCE I COME HERE
AND IT MAKES ME KINDA WONDER
NOW I'M LOOKIN FOR A REASON TO STAY?

SHE GETS ON THE BUS AT THE CORNER
LOOKING FOR DIRECTIONS
?WHICH CONNECTION SHOULD I MAKE??
IT'S SO SAD THAT SHE DON'T KNOW
THAT THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE TO GO
LOOKIN' FOR A REASON TO STAY

SEEMS KIND OF USELESS, ME HERE AND YOU THERE
ONE THIN WIRE IN BETWEEN
THIS ISN'T WHAT I HOPED FOR
AND I DON'T LIKE IT ANY MORE, I DON'T LIKE IT ANY MORE

CHORUS:
NOW I'M LOOKIN LOOKIN LOOKIN
I'M LOOKIN LOOKIN LOOKIN
LOOKIN FOR A REASON TO STAY

SHE PUTS A LIGHT ON IN THE HALLWAY
LOOKIN IN THE MIRROR
ENDING OF ANOTHER DAY
THE PHONE SITS QUIET ON THE FLOOR
IT'S GETTING LATE, SHE LOCKS THE DOOR
PEACEFUL SLEEP IS MILES AWAY

SHE PUTS HER FACE ON IN THE MORNING
LOOKIN IN THE MIRROR
LOOKIN AT ANOTHER DAY
WELL, IT'S STILL UNFAMILIAR,
BUT I GUESS THIS IS MY HOME HERE
LOOKIN' FOR A REASON TO STAY

I GUESS YOU'RE SOMEONE WHO THINKS THAT NOTHIN' LASTS FOREVER
BUT I WASN'T RAISED THAT WAY
THIS ISN'T WHAT I HOPED FOR
AND I DON'T LIKE IT ANY MORE, I DON'T LIKE IT ANY MORE

CHORUS:
NOW I'M LOOKIN LOOKIN LOOKIN
I'M LOOKIN LOOKIN LOOKIN.....LOOKIN FOR A REASON TO STA Y
