Why you always gotta try'n pull me in with the watered eyes and the desert grass grow'n bleached yellow from the sunlight all again Why you always gotta try'n pull me in?

Stray horses from the chorus all cauterized right to the summer pavement If it fits the crime bleached yellow from the sun but it's getting dark you can't start a fire without a spark

I've been hung up on some alternate ending like handed down from above like divine intervention like a mother's love like your good intentions but you split when the going gets rough wait hold on could we give this one last try Are you the candle burning in the lighthouse bright?

burning yellow like the sun but surrendering Why you always gotta try'n pull me in?
