|
I can still remember the first time you tried it, |
|
Just like yesterday |
|
High as a kite, yeah you tried it and you liked it, |
|
Problems went away. |
|
I watched as you turned the outside in |
|
And took off with the night, |
|
Without a care in the world you never felt so right - |
|
Quite alright |
|
So you started buyin' hope, you needed it to cope. |
|
Went on the streets and copped your hope, |
|
You handed me the rope. |
|
How could good be bad? |
|
Felt like you never had. |
|
How could something good be bad? |
|
That question drove ya mad. |
|
It made you smile every once-in-a-while, |
|
Well it made me smile too. |
|
Runnin' for your life - |
|
Keep on runnin' boy |
|
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide - you can't hide |
|
You just ran outta time. |
|
I can still remember the first time |
|
You rode the mainline, |
|
Just like yesterday. |
|
You sit down on the hook and |
|
I saw that look, |
|
I knew it was my lucky day. |
|
Out of sight, you felt the sting |
|
And it was love at first bite, |
|
Love & marriage happened all in one night. |
|
Shit happened much too fast, |
|
The honeymoon it didn't last. |
|
You wanted more - |
|
I wanted you |
|
You needed more - |
|
I needed you. |
|
You lost your friends, you lost your girl, |
|
You lost it all, you had what you needed cause |
|
Love, friends and family didn't really matter to you, |
|
Not to you anymore. |
|
You lived in hell, you called it home |
|
It was a living hell... |
|
Home sweet home |
|
Runnin' for your life - keep on runnin' boy |
|
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide - you can't hide. |
|
You just ran outta time. |
|
I can still remember the day that |
|
I took you, |
|
Just like yesterday. |
|
You did too much of something that was much too good, |
|
Started slipping away. |
|
I made my move, it was so easy cause you were so weak, |
|
I just kicked down the door |
|
I didn't have to sneak. |
|
Job well done, 'cause usually 18 year olds are tough, |
|
But you did half my job for me & that was enough. |
