Lyrics

Standing on that sidewalk
Voices and sirens fill the air
The kids are at my mother's
You're lying in bed and
He's stroking your hair
I ain't saying I don't share some of the fault
But I've done nothing that left me scared to be caught
So as you lie there in that hotel bed
Wishing you were out on your own
I was lighting that match and there's no coming home
You're wondering where your youth went
Between a shotgun wedding and more babies on the way
Everybody carries their crosses
I guess we got too heavy along the way
I ain't saying I don't share some of the fault
But I've done nothing that left me scared to be caught
So as you lie there in that hotel bed
Wishing you were out on your own
I was lighting that match and there's no coming home
Standing on that sidewalk
Smoke still hanging in the air
Got one unread message
And I'm wondering what the hell happened here
