He watched her climb away before screaming, “Please wait!” A father’s gotta pray. He says, “Does it get better than this?” She said, “No, it won’t get better than this.” Oh, out there by the lake, she undresses… makes the same mistakes. "So have another drink,” he says "Everything will be ok.” “You know you girls are all the same.” She’s just another wandering one left to the fray from a scene much better. She’s just another wandering one. She goes on and on and on. No reasons left to pray. She looks away as she shivers and shakes now. “Somehow I gotta get paid,” she says “Does it get better than this?” He said, “Of course it gets better than this.” Were there reasons left to stay? Hidden away in a dream much deeper. All covered up with lace, she says, “Will I ever find that place…” “that place where we’re happy forever?” She’s just another wandering one left to the fray from a scene much better. She’s just another wandering one. She goes on and on and on. Oh, ah hold on... run, run, run little darlin’! Oh, ah hold on... run, run, run forever! She’s just another wandering one left to the fray from a scene much better. She’s just another wandering one. She goes on and on and on. Oh, ah hold on... run, run, run little darlin’! Oh, ah hold on... run, run, run forever! No, oh hold on... run, run, run little darlin’! Oh, ah hold on... run, run, run…

Alone, she sits in a room of sorrow. She cannot borrow the perfect memories. Tries to flee to a world of happy. Down on her knees, wishing someone would fly her away. Maybe she will get there someday. Hey there lonely, drift off slowly. Dream your night in slumber air. Although you may be scared. Hey there lonely girl, hold on to those pearls. Someday, these dreams come true. So let that pretty smile shine through. I know the road looks dark at night. But broken dreams cannot define who you are or what’s in your mind ‘cause even giants shake sometimes. She grins, but bides her laughter. Can’t find what she’s after. They’ll tear your walls down all once more. Hey there lonely, drift off slowly. Dream your night in slumber air. Although you may be scared. Hey there lonely girl, hold on to those pearls. One day, these dreams come true. So let that pretty smile shine through. Until then, don’t you let those bad dreams in. Hey girl, say goodbye to all those lonely times. Don’t cry that smile away. You will find yourself someday. Hey girl, say goodbye to all those lonely times. Don’t you cry that smile away. You will find yourself someday. Hey there lonely, don’t drift off slowly. Dream your night in slumber air. Even though you may be scared. Hey there lonely girl, hold on to those pearls. One day, your dreams come true. So let that pretty smile shine through.

Sweet little girl, standing all alone. Tortured by the fire shot from daddy’s tongue. Mommy sits all alone, bruised by daddy’s gun. Sweet little girl, do you stay or do you run? Oh no. Some things can’t be undone, no. When the words all run out, where does the sun go? So lay it on me now. I’ll be your entire. You know that God won’t save you from this fire. So lay it on me now. Fraught with failed desire. ‘Cause God won’t save you from this fire. Sweet little girl, running from the sun. Darkness keeps the fire from burning everyone. Oh no. When daddy sits all alone, she’ll go find his gun. But daddy doesn’t know the damage that he’s done. Oh no. Some things can’t be undone, no. When the words all run out, where does the sun go? So lay it on me now. I’ll be your entire. You know that God won’t save you from this fire. So lay it on me now. Fraught with failed desire. Your God won’t save you from this fire. So lay it on me now. I’ll be your entire. You know that I will save you from this fire. So lay it on me now. Fraught with failed desire. Yes, I will save you from this fire. Oh oh oh oh oh... Oh oh oh no, no Oh oh oh oh oh... Oh oh oh no, no

Hey girl, look at those eyes. How do you constantly surprise me? You know just what you’re doing. Hey girl, look at that smile. How do you always get inside me? Oh, I don’t know, but I’d like to be let go. So carve me up, and build me up… to lose! I’m too bruised, this noose is too loose… for you! Hey girl, look at these lies. How do you always get around me? Dizzy up from always falling down. Hey girl, look at these scars. How do you cut me up and slice me? This skin used to look so new... now it don’t. Carve me up, and build me up… to lose! See, I’m too bruised, this noose is too loose… for you! Will we fall from the weight of it all? Will we fall from the weight of it all? This blood… this blood, it runs so thin. This skin holds nothing in. So will... will we fall from the weight of it all? It’s all... it’s all crashing down. Hey girl, look at these eyes. How did you forget just how they found you? Oh no, now they see goodbye.

Two roads diverge into one. Saw you on the wrong side of things that I never had before. You know these hostile beds; they don’t seem so warm alone. I will watch you from the windowsill of this prison called a home. Ever since that day, you took away all the walls of my blockade, I’ve been stuck in the middle of this extravagant parade. Now some may say that I’m only afraid of the feeling that I’m feeling now. But all the pieces that I broke off, you gotta help me find somehow. Feelin’ like I found a little piece of somethin’ in you! Somethin’ I lost, though I never knew! Feelin’ like I found a little bit of me in you, oh no! You hit me like a south-bound train. I was traveling right on through. I remember those lips as they fade away. “But one more time,” but I couldn’t stay. Then it swirled around inside my head like the demons I left around your bed. The words that you said to me, “Well, this is special, no you shouldn’t leave.” But behind me you know, well, that’s the way that it goes… are the ghosts that always follow me! Feelin’ like I found a little piece of somethin’ in you! Somethin’ I lost, though I never knew! Feelin’ like I found a little bit of me in you, oh no! You hit me like a south-bound train. I was traveling right on through. I can’t see you tonight, but I really hope you know I tried. I can’t see you tonight. It’s too cold, so stay inside. I wanted… I needed to find a little piece of my mind! I'm fine! No, I never knew, I never knew. She’s right on time! No, I never knew, I never knew! Feelin’ like I found a little piece of somethin’ in you! Somethin’ I lost, though I never knew! Feelin’ like I found a little bit of me in you, oh no! You hit me like a south-bound train. I was traveling right on through. No, I never knew, never knew, I never knew! No, I never knew, I never knew, I never knew! That’s right, she’s right on time! No, I never knew, I never knew, I never knew! No, I never knew, I never knew, I never knew! That’s right, she’s right on time! You gave me wings so I could fly away. But with these wings, yeah, you tied a weight. Stitched on truth, well, I sat back down and prayed I’d never fly away on you.
