Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Should I give up?
  • Or should I just keep chasin' pavements
  • Even if it leads nowhere?
  • Or would it be a waste

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Should I give up?
  • Or should I just keep on chasin' pavements?
  • Should I just keep on chasin' pavements?
  • Ohh, oh
shouldkeepchasin'
