    The Corner

    by: Staind

    It sheltered me from nothing but the weather
    I called it home for a moment of my life
    This place I see just doesn't look familiar
    I wonder if it looks the same inside
    So there's the corner that I sat on
    The road I walked home in the rain
    And there's the star I used to wish on
    It all just seems like yesterday
    Days go by
    Nothing's getting clearer
    Can't change my mind
    My troubles are the same
    Faces change
    The names they are familiar
    And the streets I see
    Will stand the test of time
    So there's the corner that I sat on
    The road I walked home in the rain
    And there's the star I used to wish on
    It all just seems like yesterday
    And those stars
    Stars still shine
    Shine down through the rain
    And there's the corner that I sat on
    The road I walked home in the rain
    And there's the star I used to wish on
    It all just seems like yesterday
    And I stare out this dirty window
    As this world goes slowly by
    And somewhere out there is the future
    That I once thought had passed me by
    Sheltered me from nothing but the weather
