Lyrics
This is the one everyone requests and remembers wherever I play out.
VERSE
all the summers that you spent
counting stars have come and went
buried under bills you cannot pay
callalilies line the fence
to cover months of negligence
the landlord smiles and nods
turns the other way
the lights are low
the bare bulbs show
listening to the radio
while bedding your kids back down to sleep
posters hanging in the hall
patch the holes punched through the wall
you say aloud this is not how life s'pose to be
BRIDGE
believe me I understand
hold my breath and hold your hand
close your eyes and pray for rain to
wash away all this pain
CHORUS [G D A D]
she runs away
she runs away from all her problems
though she knows she can't escape
VERSE
wishing for a second chance
playing cards on a cash advance
a lousy draw whatever your luck maybe
clutching dreams of hollywood
doing lines tryin to feel good
Even though inside you know
It's all too late
BRIDGE
CHORUS
FINAL VERSE
slipping away
a little bit everyday
the walls are closing in
the bills are due again
slipping away
a little bit everday
do you know how hard it's been
to be watching you
slipping away
a little bit everyday
was there more that I could do
to be helping you
FINAL VERSE
she runs away (repeat out)
