Time stamped and broken
Taken every other step in the shade
And I’d raise my voice loud
But you wouldn’t hear it anyway
Maybe I’m the hopeless son
Waiting on the rain to come and wash me away
Shattered by the only one
That could ever make a dead heart run, strung by lace
Hung and framed, I’m so confused
When the only place left for me, it ain’t next to you
A world away, far from view
Nailed to your door, you’d still stare right through
My life as it passed by
Steady as a wall when you walk by
Am I a stranger to you?
And just like chalk on a state line
Staring straight ahead as you drive by
Am I a stranger to you?
Spun out and smokin’
There’s only myself to blame
And I’m slowly loathin’
There’s gotta be another way
Maybe I’m the hopeless son
Waiting on the rain to come and wash me away
Shattered by the only one
That could ever make a dead heart run, strung by lace
Hung and framed, I’m so confused
When the only place left for me, it ain’t next to you
A world away, far from view
Nailed to your door, you’d still stare right through
My life as it passed by
Steady as a wall when you walk by
Am I a stranger to you?
But just like chalk on a state line
Staring straight ahead as you drive by
Am I a stranger to you?
Darling, my life has passed by
Steady as a wall when you walk by
Am I a stranger to you?
Just like chalk on a state line
Staring straight ahead as you drive by
Am I a stranger to you?
