Lyrics
Close up on your lips
Lying to me
Saying, "I'm with you wherever you'll be"
A jump cut to the bed
We used to share
Before you had the baby
And I cut off my hair
What's a life without the consequences?
What's a knife without the sharpened edges?
Did I cut the wrong wire today?
Did I set it on fire the way
Scotland burned in '44?
Like I never learned to leave a war
I just keep coming back for more
For more
A wide shot of the aisle of a grocery store
Pan down to the crooked wheel on the dirty white floor
Maybe all I'll ever be is the cameo here
A face the crowd might recognize
That comes home twice a year
And then I disappear
Did I cut the wrong wire today?
Did I set it on fire the way
Scotland burned in '44?
Like I never learned to leave a war
I just keep coming back for more
Can we take a walk before you walk away?
Can we try to talk or will you call it fake?
Can we take a walk before you walk away?
Walk away
What's a life without the consequences?
What's a knife without the sharpened edges?
Did I cut the wrong wire today?
Did I set it on fire the way
Scotland burned in '44?
Like I never learned to leave a war
I just keep coming back for more
For more
