We tried to pick
The most unlikely places
Where no one's out
To know us by our name
And for a while
We shared
The sweet affection
That makes it worth
The sorrow
And the shame
Of loving on back streets
And living on main
Suffered hell through the daylight
For the heaven darkness brings
Two hearts in the shadows
Trading passion for pain
For loving on back streets
And living on main
In the morning
When I face
The one who owns me
And she confronts me
With some things
I can't explain
Then once again
I'll hate myself
For living
And wonder just how long my mind
Can stand this strain
Of loving on back streets
And living on main
Suffering hell through the daylight
For the heaven darkness brings
Two hearts in the shadows
Trading passion for pain
For loving on back streets
And living on main
Two hearts in the shadows
Trading passion for pain
For loving on back streets
And living on main
