Turnpike Gates |
In order for you to play with this record, |
you must tune your guitar to ours. |
We will start with the first string… |
We would drag ourselves to bed. |
And sleep took everything I had. |
I kept it up till he would call. |
You made me feel like a criminal. |
And then there’s you, |
you kept a smile though I would always walk the wire. |
You gave it all. |
I gave you reason to have doubt. |
I had to get out of there. |
I took the stairs. |
I don’t wanna fight with you if I can’t be the one to have you. |
You sat that chair like a queen in the kitchen. |
I memorized the lines your eyes made at every squint you shot my way. |
We would drag ourselves to bed. |
And sleep took everything I had. |
I kept it up till he would call. |
You made me feel like a criminal. |
And then there’s you, |
you kept a smile though I would always walk the wire. |
But you’re miserable and I’m useless, |
always making up excuses. |
I made you cry too many times. |
So I’m hanging up that line. |
I’m throwing rocks at your floor. |
I’m knocking down your front door. |
I’m desperate tonight and I just wanna fight. |
It’s my confusion that lets me act so cold. |
So now I’ll go, go, go. |
And you wanna be just left alone. |
Put down that phone, cause if you want me just call out «hey boy». |
