Her and I met in native fire Bleach blonde hair and dark green eyes It was bright but it don't burn anymore Nothing'll change come Christmas time You can stay where you want at night Just promise when love comes knockin', you'll answer the door Easy, tiger, don't you cry People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life Don't blame your mother, least we tried People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life The machine beeps less frequently They've gone to find out what that means It was months, now it may only be hours They say, ma'am your son was far from a coward Damn near first one into the tower Come Mother's Day, she'll be bringing him the flowers Easy, tiger, don't you cry People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life A lovely mother left behind People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you Wish that I could tell you why Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm Least you know you love the boy It's why you feel you were destroyed His father applied from the other side of the door Not his area of expertise, no "Plenty of fish" analogies He said, "You'll have to eat eventually, sport" Easy, tiger, don't you cry People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life Another lover you'll come to find People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you Wish that I could tell you why Oh, people gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you All the damn time

You got up, you felt you should I keep tryin' to tell myself I would've done the same had I could I never thought that you would But we became the eye of the storm You took off from that outdoor platform And you went east 'cause it's easy Don't mind if you leave me as long as you come back home So I went south to define me and someday you'll find me No different than I was before Until then I'm still lookin' for you in every dark four door Until then I'm still lookin' for you in every dark four door I don't sleep enough at night Imagining your silhouette I draw the outline of you in my mind Since you went east 'cause it's easy Don't mind if you leave me as long as you come back home So I went south to define me and someday you'll find me No different than I was before Until then I'm still lookin' for you in every dark four door Until then I'm still lookin' for you in every dark four door Until then I'm still lookin' for you in every dark four door Until then I'm still lookin' for you in every dark four door Until then I'm still lookin' for you in every dark four door Until then I'm still lookin' for you in every dark four door

I feel like I'm falling I'm out on the ocean I'm lost on the road somewhere Darlin' don't wait up I'm counting on my luck I hope it can get me there Keys in my pocket I don't mind the walkin' but you feel so far away The bus fare I had it but I got bad habit that don't get me far these days Sometimes I wish I was the driver But I'm always the hitchhiker I want to be there for you even though you don't need me to, no I wish I was the driver, driver Ooohh Ooooooh Ooohh In bed with your eyes shut You're holding the sky up Your trying to keep control You started from nothing but it's good to want things when you're out here in the cold YEAH Sometimes I wish I was the driver But I'm always the hitchhiker I want to be there for you even though you don't need me to, no I wish I was the driver, driver

Fast cars good life what you waiting for? Grow up perfect life knocking at your door I've been working for myself since seventeen Taking orders getting low on self-esteem Yeah Wake up, same clothes, off I go to hell again Making money, sinking when I'm trying to swim I'm tired but I know a guy that has a cure for that I'm wired, that's the only way that I stay golden There's something better than this I crack my teeth, bite down and grab it Need something better than this Break through the prison of my habits Take a bite of what kills you honey, it looks better that way to me Than being stuck here in this shitty apartment Working four jobs to make ends meet Yeah Wake up, same clothes, off I go to hell again Making money, sinking when I'm trying to swim I'm tired but I know a guy that has a cure for that I'm wired, that's the only way that I stay golden It's something better than this I crack my teeth right down and grab it Need something better than this Break through the prison of my habits I came here for something Yeah Don't wanna be suffering Yeah I've been working for myself since seventeen Taking orders getting low on self-esteem It's something better than this I crack my teeth right down and grab it Need something better than this Break through the prison of my habits I came here for something Don't wanna be suffering I came here for something Don't wanna be suffering

You say your heart is like a library book To love is to trust he'll bring it back If I go and take it home for good Would you be okay with that? Would you be okay with that? The mind is a fine place to hide She will show you what you hope to find I have seen a century of life Our first fight, our first time I would bleed just like the ink If you put your hands on me How I wish I never fell It's hell sitting on a shelf When your heart is like a library book Pages torn by those who wanted parts I look at her and wonder how one could Want a piece, not everything I would bleed just like the ink If it put her next to me I wish that I could help myself 'Cause it's hell sitting on a shelf If your heart is like a library book I'll await the day he takes it back But if he's gone and took it home for good I will have to be okay with that

I've been doing things that are bad for me I've been going places I shouldn't be I've been getting high staying numb for weeks I've been doing things that are bad for me Am I too far gone? Am I waiting on something That's never gonna be coming Nothing seems to help I could be with someone else but something Always seems to feel like nothing I've been doing things that are bad for me I've been going places I shouldn't be I've been getting high staying numb for weeks I've been doing things that are bad for me To make me feel better To make me feel better To make me feel better To make me feel It would hurt like hell Seeing someone else hold you And tell you things I told you Do you feel the same Are you in this much pain, oh Or am I in this alone I've been doing things that are bad for me I've been going places I shouldn't be I've been getting high staying numb for weeks I've been doing things that are bad for me To make me feel better To make me feel better To make me feel better To make me feel To make me feel better To make me feel better To make me feel better To make me feel I've been doing things that are bad for me To make me feel better To make me feel better To make me feel better To make me feel
