E D` C G`
Cigarette smoke dances back in the window
And I can see the haze on the dome light.
I`m conjuring ghosts on a forty-hour ride home.
And they keep asking me what I`m doing with my life,
While my cousins go to bed with their wives.
I'm feeling like I've fallen behind.
Well the highway won.
I`m listening to traffic reports,
One on one, coming quietly undone.
I was born to run away from anything good
An escape artist`s son
With sun-drenched pavement in my blood.
The first thing that I do when I walk in
Is plan a way out for when shit gets bad
E D' C G` E
And I`ve been looking for tears in the screen door.
D` C
(tears in the screen door)
E D` C G` E
I`ve been waiting for another disaster.
D` C
(another disaster)
I`m terrified like a kid in the sixties,
Staring at the sky waiting for the bomb to fall.
It`s all a lie, what they say about stability.
It scares me sometimes,
The emptiness I see in my eyes.
All the kid`s names I've ever liked are tied to tragedy
And I don't want my children growing up to be anything like me.
I`ve been looking for
Tears in the screen door.
(tears in the screen door)
I`ve been waiting for
Another disaster
(another disaster)
But I was kind of hoping you`d stay.
I was kind of hoping you`d stay.
I keep a flashlight
And a small knife in the corner of my bed stand.
I keep a flashlight and the train times,
But you wouldn't understand.
How could you understand?
Jesus Christ. I`m twentysix.
All the people I graduated with
All have kids, all have wives,
All have people who care if they come home at night.
Jesus Christ, did I fuck up?
I`ve been looking for
Tears in the screen door.
(tears in the screen door)
I`ve been waiting for
Another disaster
(another disaster)
But I was kind of hoping you`d stay.
I was kind of hoping you`d stay.
I was kind of hoping you`d stay.
