Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Past the road to your house

That you never called home

Where they turned out your lights

Though they say you'll never know

[Verse 2]

I remember runnin' through the wet grass

Fallin' a step behind

Both of us never tirin'

Desperately wanting

[Verse 3]

When they pumped out your guts

Filled you full of those pills

You were never quite right

Deservin' all the chills

[Verse 4]

Say the worst is over

Kicked it again

Then they ask what went wrong

When they turn you on again

They turn you on again

[Verse 5]

I remember runnin' through the wet grass

Fallin' a step behind

Both of us never tirin'

Desperately wanting

I remember runnin' through the wet grass

Fallin' a step behind

Both of us never tirin'

Desperately wanting

[Verse 6]

Kick them right in the face

Make them wish they weren't born

And if they bring up your name

Well, they'll say you won the war

[Verse 7]

Baby burst in the world

Never given a chance

Then they ask what went wrong

When you never had it right

Though you never had it right

[Verse 8]

I remember runnin' through the wet grass

Fallin' a step behind

Both of us never tirin'

Desperately wanting

I remember runnin' through the wet grass

Fallin' a step behind

Both of us never tirin'

Desperately wanting

[Verse 9]

Oh, the letters have dropped off

Though they say you got them all

Finally figured out some things you'll never know

[Verse 10]

Take back your life

Let me inside

We'll find the door

If you care, if you care to anymore

[Verse 11]

I remember runnin' through the wet grass

Fallin' a step behind

Both of us never tirin'

Desperately wanting

I remember runnin' through the wet grass

Fallin' a step behind

Both of us never tirin'

Desperately wanting
