Intro: verse 1 Well I married Caroline back in May of ’99 It was fucked up at the time but I figured we’d keep tryin’ Her brother and her dad they were spitting mad When I packed up what I had and took off runnin’ it was bad It was mean I didn’t care and it’s gotten me nowhere So I’m trying to be a better man Instrumental verse 2 I turned left turns into right I turned sunshine into night I got my ass kicked every fight no I couldn’t get it right I built castles out of sand I didn’t understand Why everything I planned ran like whiskey off my hand And my hands were never clean things I wished I’d never seen I’d do anything to wake up from this motherfuckin’ dream Who’d I got to blow to get in this fuckin’ show It’s dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go But I need a place to hide so I’ll put away my pride And come inside ’cause I’m tired of running Break (x2) verse 3 And there’s a universe that’s floating out in space And I look up there and I can’t find my face And I’m seein’ my reflection backstage Writin’ down the same old words on the same old page Who’d I got to blow to get in this fuckin’ show It’s dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go But I need a place to hide so I’ll put away my pride And come inside ’cause I’m tired of running Who’d I got to blow to get in this fuckin’ show It’s dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go But I need a place to hide so I’ll put away my pride And come inside ’cause I’m tired of running Come inside ’cause I’m tired of running Come inside ’cause I’m tired of running Outro
