《Passing Through A Screen Door》歌词

[00:00:00] Cigarette smoke dances back in the window

[00:00:04] And I can see the haze on the dome light

[00:00:09] I'm conjuring ghosts on a forty-hour ride home

[00:00:13] And they keep asking me what I'm doing with my life

[00:00:17] While my cousins go to bed with their wives

[00:00:21] I'm feeling like I've fallen behind

[00:00:26] Well the highway won

[00:00:28] I'm listening to traffic reports

[00:00:30] One on one coming quietly undone

[00:00:34] I was born to run away from anything good

[00:00:39] An escape artist's son

[00:00:41] With sun-drenched pavement in my blood

[00:00:43] The first thing that I do when I walk in

[00:00:47] Is plan a way out for when sh*t gets bad

[00:00:52] And I've been looking for tears in the screen door

[00:00:57] (Tears in the screen door)

[00:01:00] I've been waiting for another disaster

[00:01:06] (Another disaster)

[00:01:17] I'm terrified like a kid in the sixties

[00:01:22] Staring at the sky waiting for the bomb to fall

[00:01:26] It's all a lie what they say about stability

[00:01:30] It scares me sometimes

[00:01:32] The emptiness I see in my eyes

[00:01:36] All the kid's names

[00:01:38] I've ever liked are tied to tragedy

[00:01:44] And I don't want my children

[00:01:46] Growing up to be anything like me

[00:01:52] I've been looking for tears in the screen door

[00:01:57] (Tears in the screen door)

[00:02:00] I've been waiting for another disaster

[00:02:06] (Another disaster)

[00:02:09] But I was kind of hoping you'd stay

[00:02:13] I was kind of hoping you'd stay

[00:02:24] I keep a flashlight

[00:02:26] And a small knife in the corner of my bed stand

[00:02:32] I keep a flashlight and the train times

[00:02:36] But you wouldn't understand

[00:02:39] How could you understand

[00:02:41] Jesus Christ I'm 26

[00:02:45] All the people I graduated with

[00:02:49] All have kids all have wives

[00:02:53] All have people who care if they come home at night

[00:02:58] Jesus Christ did I f*ck up

[00:03:03] I've been looking for tears in the screen door

[00:03:08] (Tears in the screen door)

[00:03:11] I've been waiting for another disaster

[00:03:17] (Another disaster)

[00:03:20] But I was kind of hoping you'd stay

[00:03:24] I was kind of hoping you'd stay

[00:03:29] I was kind of hoping you'd stay
