Title
- I can spot your kind a million miles away
- Buckle down boots and a bloodshot gaze
- You talk so sweet until the going gets tough
- The last job you pulled was never big enough
- Don't say you'll change after the next time
- You wouldn't even be yourself if you weren't telling a lie
- Cuz I know where the cops hang out
- I know where you'll be found
- I know what you're all about
- I know when you're going down
- You only call me honey when we're alone
- Hiding at your place up on slack road
- You've got an answer for every little thing
- You can't even tell me where you've been
- My face couldn't make you leave it behind
- Maybe 20 years in state will change your mind
- Cuz I know where the cops hang out
- I know where you'll be found
- I know what you're all about
- I know when you're going down
- Don't say you'll change after the next time
- You wouldn't even be yourself if you weren't telling a lie
- Maybe 20 years in state will change your mind
- Cuz I know where the cops hang out
- I know where you'll be found
- I know what you're all about
- I know you'll never change now
- I know my love was good enough
- I know you would have shed my blood
- I know you can't shut me up
- I know when you're going down
- I've got ways to make you sorry
- start my life with someone else
- I've got ways to make you fall
- I'll tell you all the things that I lied about
- I've got ways to make you mad
- Laughing at the girl sitting on your lap
- I've got ways to make you sing my songs
- Ones I ain't written yet
- I've got lights you've never seen
- I've got moves I've never used
- I've got ways to make you come
- back to me
- I've got ways to make you strange
- Drug you up and drag you home
- I've got ways to track you down
- In all of the places you like to go
- I've got ways to make you crazy
- wear all the things you always wanted me to
- I've got ways to make you run
- My daddy is coming for you
- I've got lights you've never seen
- I've got moves I've never used
- I've got ways to make you come
- back to me
- I've got ways to make you hear me
- just by whispering your name
- I've got ways to make you think
- you'll never be happy again
- I've got ways to make you see
- I'm so much better than before
- I've got ways to make you swear
- you won't want your old life anymore
- I've got lights you've never seen
- I've got moves I've never used
- I've got ways to make you come
- Back to me
- Painted over the walls
- the saddest colour of blue
- posters covered in glass
- favorite curbside grab
- red Valentine's card
- stuck on the mirror to keep
- record player made of tubes
- spinning Tommy by The Who
- There's no time to waste
- There's no time to wait
- Keys on the hook by the door
- for the truck sold years ago
- standing guitars in the case
- filling up closet space
- vintage 40's wardrobe
- pink Emerson radio
- old lace dress I bought in the store
- motorcycle boots on the floor
- There's no time to waste
- There's no time to wait
- Sirens up on the street
- smoke is burning my eyes
- and the neighbours are screaming at me
- I can only carry one thing
- I can only carry one thing
- There's no time to waste
- There's no time to wait
- Gimme a bet and I'll take it
- I've got twenty bucks that says I'm gonna make it
- I've got twenty two fifty in the bank
- and I'd bet it all away given the chance
- I'm the independent thief
- no one's got a number on me
- everybody's talking while you save this crowd
- they water down the drinks and the band plays too loud
- I don't want nothing from you
- all I need is just some company
- You're always standing there holding out for more
- when I'm the reason you're always shown the door
- I'm this city's sweet holy thunder
- I'm the gold of the drug you've been under
- I'm the good teacher that got away
- button-down sweaters and black-rimmed frames
- I'm your get-out-of -jail-free for a year
- I'm the warden of your heart but I don't keep you near
- I don't want nothing from you
- all I need is just some company
- Of all the things that you could choose to say
- So I called you up from god knows where
- Would you lie in bed if I were there
- Speak soft, just talk I will listen
- Don't you dare leave till the morning
- Like you always do
- Follow me down through the streets of the states
- Make up a reason not to come for old time sake
- Nothing in this town could ever change
- Except maybe new lines on your face
- So I called you up from god knows where
- Would you lie in bed if I were there
- Speak soft, just talk I will listen
- Don't you dare leave till the morning
- Like you always do
- I know how to play this game
- one, two, three and I'm safe
- count real slow to five
- you couldn't keep me around if you tried
- I know how to beat the rage
- of my tender age
- touch me once in the hall
- but don't look back and don't call
- There are some things I can hardly say
- You've got me feeling a brand new way
- Please don't let this be summerlong
- I used to play this game
- in the middle lane
- pass them all on the inside
- and don't get caught in a lie
- There are some things I can hardly say
- You've got me feeling a brand new way
- Please don't let this be summerlong
- Cuz I want to stay
- All the nights and wasted time
- trying to get my head to change its mind
- all the talk of what it could be
- when it never was
- There are some things I can hardly say
- You've got me feeling a brand new way
- Please don't let this be summerlong
- Please don't let this be summerlong
- Cuz I want to stay
- All the things I tried
- Mistakes made in my old life
- I picked you up that night
- All my wrongs don't make you right
- Silence reminds me
- I'm a secret too dirty to keep
- And we're such a familiar sight
- I gave you my word and it cost your life
- What are you still hiding? Are you even trying?
- Why have you come, what are you waiting for?
- All the words you had
- Planted seeds inside your head
- Just waiting on a rainy day
- Well I'm standing soaking and you still can't say
- All the dreams you had
- It's been years and you're still mad
- You say you like me in your memory
- You've got to be fucking kidding me
- What are you still hiding? Are you even trying?
- Why have you come? What are you waiting for?
- And we drive through the old neighbourhood
- All the corners where we stood
- An hour passes you don't even blink
- I'm writing you off and you still can't speak
- Why have you come? What are you waiting for?
- I remember the way
- Driving home late
- Speeding all the way
- Alone in the rain
- I was rehearsing a part
- From down at the bar
- My mouth smelled like a drink
- We were laughing, I think
- I've been away
- Do you pick up your phone
- Do you check your mail
- Do you answer your door even if it's late?
- I don't know who to call
- I don't know who to write
- And I think I forgot
- What your face looks like
- I've been away
- Do you think that I've changed
- I swear I never tried
- Memory is a terrible thing
- When you use it right
- I was rehearsing a part
- From down at the bar
- My mouth smelled like a drink
- We were laughing, I think
- I've been away
- I used to look for you out in the daylight
- I took highways and sidestreets and back lanes
- Slept under open skies
- Life can be cruel
- Life can be sweet if I want it to be
- This town that I once called home
- I just can't hold on to
- It's got bus stops and strip malls and people
- I would never even talk to
- She said life can be cruel
- But life is so sweet cuz I let it be
- Everybody out here
- They wanna live somewhere else
- I wish I could find a place
- and stay there by myself
- Bit by bit I swear I think I'm losing
- All this city's confidence
- This is not my town and it will never be
- This is our apartment filled with your things
- This is your life, I get copied keys
- Try and force a little smile hold it a little while for you
- These are your old streets and you know them well
- One way shortcuts all the way downtown
- But your favorite find is just my secondhand secret
- Try and hide a little pain for the things
- I can't explain to you
- These are your good friends and I like them fine
- Cuz they are your past and your present time
- But would you even be the same if you left them behind
- All the things I used to be
- All the things I miss of me for you
- These are your good friends and I like them fine
- These are your old streets and you know them well
- This is not my town and it will never be
- And it will never be..... ours.
- I've got a long, long list of things
- That no one needs to see
- Desk drawers filled with picture frames
- Postcards tucked in underneath
- We were only young when we moved away
- It went on and on for years
- You fell in love and now you live in the city
- I'm my own company out here
- Don't get down
- Good things come when you stop waiting around
- Good things come when you stop looking
- Don't get down
- You've just got to stop looking
- There are some things that I believe
- Like if you've got nothing you've still got your family
- And when you are no one you're still the king
- And there's not a dollar enough in the world to
- make you sing
- So don't get down
- Good things come when you stop waiting around
- Good things come when you stop looking
- Don't get down
- You've just got to stop looking
- There are some things I used to be
- Won't you find the will just to remind me
- Because you are so safe inside my memory
- And the scar underneath my knee
