Before you know it, there's wrinkles on your face
And by the time you take a bow, the strings will start to fray
Before you know it, you're sinking in your grave
Don't worry where it brings you, 'cause the [?] burns today

You were right
Stayed up all night till the morning
I was lost and forgot what I missed you for
And I found you
It seemed like forever
I couldn't walk with one foot out the door
Why did I stay where I was?
Safe as I could be

Got away, I let 'em take what we found
After all, I'm only fuckin' around
Hold me down, you can't pay no amount
I'm a traitor till you're setting me free
'Cause it's just out of touch when I wanted too much
You know it's getting harder to sleep
Why would I stay where I'm as safe as I can be?
As I can be

(Never safe)
I was running, I was horrified
Only you can take me to that place
With the weight I bear, tell them all take care
You can test my luck, let the blood run clear
No heavy hands have ever caught anything as far as I can see
Why are you doing this for me?
When you're gone, I would never keep a title I stole off the ledge
I'm on [?] when you're there, when you scream right back
I can't tell you that, I can't tell you that
No

Got away, I let 'em take what we found
After all, I'm only fuckin' around
Hold me down, you can't pay no amount
I'm a traitor till you're setting me free
And it's just out of touch when I wanted too much
It's such a fascinating disease
Why would I stay where I'm as safe as I can be?
As I can be

(Why would I ever stay?)
(Why would I ever stay?)
(Why would I stay?)
(Everybody's right)
