Cigarette smoke
Dances back in the window
And I can see
The haze on the dome light
Iâ€m conjuring ghosts
On a forty-hour ride home
And they keep asking me
What Iâ€m doing with my life
While my cousins go to bed with their wives
Iâ€m feeling like Iâ€ve fallen behind
Well the highway won.
Iâ€m listening to traffic reports
One on one
I was born to run
Away from anything good
An escape artistâ€s son
With sun-drenched pavement in my blood
The first thing that I do when I walk in
Is plan a way out for when shit gets bad and
Iâ€ve been looking for
Tears in the screen door.
(Tears in the screen door)
Iâ€ve been waiting for
Another disaster
(Another disaster)
Iâ€m terrified
Like a kid in the sixties
Staring at the sky
Waiting for the bomb to fall
And itâ€s all a lie
What they say about stability
It scares me sometimes
The emptiness I see in my eyes
All the kidâ€s names
Iâ€ve ever liked
Are tied to tragedy
And I donâ€t want my children
Growing up to be
Anything like me
Iâ€ve been looking for
Tears in the screen door.
(Tears in the screen door)
Iâ€ve been waiting for
Another disaster
(Another disaster)
But I was kind of hoping youâ€d stay
I was kind of hoping youâ€d stay
I keep a flashlight and a small knife
In the corner of my bed stand.
I keep a flashlight and the train times
But you wouldnâ€t understand
How could you understand?
Jesus Christ
Iâ€m 26
All the people I graduated with
All have kids
All have wives
Well Jesus Christ, did I fuck up?
Iâ€ve been looking for
Tears in the screen door
(Tears in the screen door)
Iâ€ve been waiting for
Another disaster
(Another disaster)
But I was kind of hoping youâ€d stay
I was kind of hoping youâ€d stay
I was kind of hoping youâ€d stay
