Lyrics

In order for you to play with this record... we must tune your guitar to ours.
We will start with the first string...
We would drag ourselves to bed.
As sleep took everything
I had! I kept it up till i knew you 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. '
Cause 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 lines your eyes made at every squint you shot my way.
We would drag ourselves to bed.
As sleep took everything
I had. I kept it up till i knew you 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. but if you want me just call out "hey boy!"
