Coming home early, catching on late Guess I had too much on my plate Wish it was as simple as somebody done somebody wrong, but I'm coming home early, catching on late There's miles between us The boy, you should've seen us when we met I loved your anger and The way you'd catch a stranger in your net She'll be driving in the fall And we'll sit up waiting on the call As she leaves, I'll tell her don't get hurt and don't get pregnant, but She won't acknowledge me at all There's miles between us But boy, you should've seen us, she was scared to let go of my hand A tiny carnival, she said, "Daddy, is this just like Disneyland?" "Yes, it's just like Disneyland" In the name of survival, we get used to this In the name of forgiveness, we get bored For our own entertainment, we ball up our fists Take it out on the kid at the grocery store In the name of desire, we burn everything In the name of redemption, buy it back For our own entertainment, clip each other's wings Take it out on the kids when we can't keep track In the name of survival, we get used to this In the name of forgiveness, we get bored In the name of survival, we get used to this There's miles between us But boy, you should've seen us in the good old days It was just like Disneyland You didn't even see the hand that turned the page The hand that turned the page

Did you ever love a woman with a death wish? Something in her eyes, like flipping off a light switch Everybody dies, but you gotta find a reason to carry on Oh, and did you ever catch her climbing on the rooftop Higher than a kite, dead of winter in a tank top? I don't wanna fight with you, baby, but I won't leave you alone The night was young once, we were the wild ones 'Fore we had to pay attention to the violence Anything could happen, but nothing ever really did I wanted action, she wanted answers Sunrise with the dealers and the dancers It takes a whole lot of medicine to feel like a little kid Oh, and did you ever love a woman with a death wish? Something in her eyes, like flipping off a light switch Everybody dies, but you gotta find a reason to carry on Oh, and did you ever catch her climbing on the rooftop Higher than a kite, dead of winter in a tank top? I don't wanna fight with you, baby, but I won't leave you alone Who's gonna save you, who's left to pray to? What's the difference in a breakdown and a breakthrough? I saw her in the moonlight, digging up the garden bed I wanna hold her until it's over Let her sleep through the morning on my shoulder But there's nothin' I could say to her that I ain't already said Did you ever love a woman with a death wish? Something in her eyes, like flipping off a light switch Everybody dies, but you gotta find a reason to carry on Oh, and did you ever catch her climbing on the rooftop Higher than a kite, dead of winter in a tank top? I don't wanna fight with you, baby, but I won't leave you alone When your words mean nothing When the world turns to monochrome And you know she's not bluffing 'Cause you feel it in your bones You feel it in your bones Oh, and did you ever love a woman with a death wish? Something in her eyes, like flipping off a light switch Everybody dies, but you gotta find a reason to carry on Oh, and did you ever catch her climbing on the rooftop Higher than a kite, dead of winter in a tank top? I don't wanna fight with you, baby, but I won't leave you alone I wanna hold her until it's over (did you ever love a woman with a death wish?) I wanna hold her until it's over (did you ever love a woman with a death wish?) Oh, I wanna hold her until it's over (did you ever love a woman with a death wish?) I wanna hold her, I wanna hold her (did you ever love a woman with a death wish?) I wanna hold her until it's over (did you ever love a woman with a death wish?) I wanna hold her until it's over (did you ever love a woman with a death wish?) Oh, I wanna hold her until it's over (did you ever love a woman with a death wish?)

We've been testing you And you failed To see how long That you could sit with the truth But you bailed I don't think you'd even recognize the loss of control And I don't think you even see it in yourself See, every one of us is counting dice that he didn't roll And the loser is the last to ask for help Be afraid, be very afraid But do it anyway Do it anyway The stage belongs to you And you feel like a star And you can bark and snap like a dog At the man who just tuned your guitar And I don't think you'd even recognize a kid in the wings And I don't think you even see her in yourself She looks to you for what to do with all the delicate dreams But you're too terrified to be of any help Be afraid, be very afraid But do it anyway Do it anyway Be afraid, be very afraid But do it anyway Do it anyway And we don't take requests We won't shut up and sing Tell the truth enough You'll find it rhymes with everything We've been testing you And you failed To see how long that you could hold it in Before you scream But you only exhaled I don't think you even recognize the sound of your voice When it's blasting through the speakers in the sky And if your words add up to nothing, then you're making a choice To sing a cover when you need a battle cry Be afraid, be very afraid But do it anyway Do it anyway Be afraid, be very afraid But do it anyway Do it anyway Be afraid, be very afraid But do it anyway Do it anyway Be afraid, be very afraid But do it anyway Do it anyway

Well, I've tried To open up my window and let the light come in I step outside In the middle of the morning and in the evening again Yes, I've tried To be grateful for my devils and call them by their names But I'm tired And by the middle of the morning I need someone to blame I know you're scared of me, I can see it in your face I can feel it in the way you move around this place I know you're scared of me, I can see it in your smile Like an unattended child you can't quite trust But I'm tired Of stepping on your shadow and feeling in the way Yes, I'm tired And by the middle of the morning I'm out of shit to say I ain't used to this, seeing everybody's hand I was raised to be a strong and silent southern man I ain't used to this, a thousand days alone In my bed or in my head or in my phone Yes, I'm tired Of living in the moment and sleeping through the dream I step outside In the middle of the morning and the roses hear the scream I know you're scared of me, so I never get too close I just sit here on the tailgate like a farm hand's ghost Watch the roses bloom, watch them wilt away and die 'Til I notice I've been crying this whole time Well, I've tried To open up my window and let the light come in I step outside In the middle of the morning and in the evening again
