Baby where you going with that
rolled up twenty and the razor blade
in your purse? i know you think
you're slick and that you're getting
over, but you're only gonna make it
worse. Our eyes met across a
crowded room in the basement of a
smoke-filled church. Aw girl you
know the world is headed straight for
the grave but there's no reason you
should get there first. I can tell when
i look in your eyes, behind that brave
face i know you're terrified. What
i'm trying to say is you don't have to
run, back to your painful past and the
s*** that you've done. You can still
come around from the choices you've
made, when the heats coming down
girl, well, i'll be your shade, when
the cold light of day is too bright for
those crying eyes
Pour another shot, chop another
line. Looking for a piece of the
action, but that ain't no way to fiind
no peace of mind. On and on and it
ain't never gonna end until you've
overspent your borrowed time, but in
the meanwhile girl, you can take
some of mine.
C'mon girl pick up your phone,
i wanna know that you're safe in all
the places you roam. Wish i could
say i'm used to sleeping alone,
tossing turning uncertain if you're
coming home. Hear the taxi door
slam and you stumble upstairs,
smelling like breath mints and
whiskey and smoke in your hair, and
crawl into bed like you've been here
all along...
Baby please, unlock the door,
so i can pick your shaking body off
the bathroom floor. Wrap you up in
blankets, put the kettle on and we
can wait for it to boil while i sing
you this song. Steal myself so i can
take it all, from the blame to the
pain to the vitriol, ill still be sitting
here when you wake up tomorrow
Pour another shot, chop another
line. Looking for a piece of the
action, but that ain't no way to fiind
no peace of mind. On and on and it
ain't never gonna end until you've
overspent your borrowed time, but in
the meanwhile girl, you can take
some of mine.
