Hell or High Water

Something must have changed this time

Like the streets at the flick of a headlight

There’s a wayward desperate thief come to steal the night

The jukebox kings when the money runs out

I’m playing for keeps this time around

Instead of wishing I could shake these walls and burn it down

So hold out your hand and come wander with me

Slip through the gears and trace the lines of a memory

Through hell or high water I’ll race towards the thunder and dance with the night time brigade

If I’m wrong or I’m right

I’m still falling behind

Id rather chase those silver lines than walk away

Bite my tongue and grit my teeth

Shake the hands of my enemies

It’s not worth the fight unless you know which side you’re on

Lift me up or drag me down

There’s a future that haunts me now

But I won’t wait to see what’s left when the hope is gone

Through the long and lonely nights

You held my hand as the world stood by

Those long and lonely nights

Would you hold my hand till the day I die

This town just ain’t big enough for the fools the ghosts and the rest of us

For every passing moment

I’ve been bound by my distractions

It’s alright man

We’ve been healing for forever

But what’s that you said

We can’t carry such a heavy head

We’re much too young despite the wounds these years have sent
