Lyrics
Been stuck in this house too long
I'm overthinking everything that could go wrong
went for a drive to clear my head, ended up thinking 'bout you instead
My mind's a prison cell, and you've got the key
The situation keeps testing me
There's no answer to a messed up conspiracy
those small town lights blink red
the snakes come out to claim their bed
and I reckon that's why I never can sleep
You can wash your hands in holy water
or take of running like some desperado
but you can't roll the devil's dice for free
what goes around comes around, you see,
the knife never comes out clean
Been around this town too long
Seen a side of you that I never saw
Like a rifle ain't a threat 'til you pull the trigger
I let you get close and I made the target bigger
made a shot in the dark but you can't see
the gun's fully loaded but the barrel ain't pointed at me
You can wash your hands in holy water
or take of running like some desperado
but you can't roll the devil's dice for free
what goes around comes around, you see,
the knife never comes out clean
Fight fire with fire, and it just gets a little hotter
I'll tell you right now, I ain't no preacher's daughter
but sometimes what it is ain't what it seems
to tell you the truth, loving me ain't easy
and the knife never comes out clean
