|
Over and over |
|
Look over your shoulder |
|
At all of the soot on the ground |
|
Oh, it's been falling down |
|
From the moment you got into town |
|
You're older, you're bolder |
|
You've never been colder |
|
You come in here looking for more |
|
And oh, you take all you can fit in your arms |
|
When you walk out the door |
|
You didn't even see it coming |
|
You know you should've seen it coming |
|
You might have even seen it coming |
|
You could have would have seen it all |
|
Could have would have had it all |
|
Father, oh father |
|
Your sons and your daughters |
|
They'll learn how to stand on their own |
|
Oh, when a slap on the left |
|
And a kick to the right's all they know |
|
Daily, or daily |
|
But then again maybe |
|
You'll learn how to love what you have |
|
Oh, if you'll find there is more to the scheme |
|
Than to give or to grab |
|
You didn't even see it coming |
|
You know you should've seen it coming |
|
You might have even seen it coming |
|
You could have would have seen it all |
|
Couldn't wouldn't shouldn't have to crawl |
|
So shoulder, grow older |
|
Don't ever grow colder |
|
And time will bring love to your side |
|
Oh, if you choose to refuse to sit tight while she passes you by |
|
And maybe, just maybe |
|
She'll take you there safely |
|
No more of your running around |
|
And over and over by nightfall |
|
You'll dance in the soot on the ground |
|
You didn't even see it coming |
|
You know you should've seen it coming |
|
You might have even seen it coming |
|
You could have would have seen it all |
|
Could have would have had it all |
