lyrics
You and I, we’ll go down,
we’ll paint the whole town red
In mud and blood and sweat and tears
Find the guy you used to know
Make him pay for what he did
Make him pay for all those scars
He left you to carry all alone
While you covered them with anger
You covered them with fear
You covered them with oxy
And you covered them with beer
You covered them by hiding
Every part of you you loved
Take it back, now, wish I could ever take it back, now.
Memory lane, it is never clearly marked
The GPS won’t give you warning
That you should have left your car
The future’s getting close now
The past is closing in
And closer is the memory
Of the awful thing you did.
She covered them with anger
She covered them with fear
She covered them with oxy
And she covered them with beer
She covered them by hiding
Every part of you she loved
Take it back, now, take it back, now.
She covered them with anger
She covered them with fear
She covered them with oxy
And she covered them with beer
She covered them by violent
She covered them with rage
She covered them with distance
And she covered them with age
She covered them by hiding
Every part of what you were
And though I try, you know I’ll never take it back now
And though I try, you know I’ll never take it back now
we’ll paint the whole town red
In mud and blood and sweat and tears
Find the guy you used to know
Make him pay for what he did
Make him pay for all those scars
He left you to carry all alone
While you covered them with anger
You covered them with fear
You covered them with oxy
And you covered them with beer
You covered them by hiding
Every part of you you loved
Take it back, now, wish I could ever take it back, now.
Memory lane, it is never clearly marked
The GPS won’t give you warning
That you should have left your car
The future’s getting close now
The past is closing in
And closer is the memory
Of the awful thing you did.
She covered them with anger
She covered them with fear
She covered them with oxy
And she covered them with beer
She covered them by hiding
Every part of you she loved
Take it back, now, take it back, now.
She covered them with anger
She covered them with fear
She covered them with oxy
And she covered them with beer
She covered them by violent
She covered them with rage
She covered them with distance
And she covered them with age
She covered them by hiding
Every part of what you were
And though I try, you know I’ll never take it back now
And though I try, you know I’ll never take it back now
