| Over and over
|
| Look over your shoulder
|
| At all of the soot on the ground
|
| Oh, it’s been falling down from the moment we got into town
|
| You’re older
|
| You’re bolder
|
| You’ve never been colder
|
| You come in here looking for more
|
| Oh, you take all you can fit in your arms when you walk out the door
|
| You didn’t even see it coming
|
| You know you should’ve seen it coming
|
| You might’ve even seen it coming
|
| You could-a would-a seen it all
|
| Could-a would-a had it all
|
| Father, oh father
|
| Your sons and your daughters
|
| They’ll learn how to stand on their own
|
| Oh, when a slap on the left
|
| And a kick to the right’s all they know
|
| Daily, or daily
|
| But then again maybe
|
| You’ll learn how to love what you have
|
| Oh, if you’ll find there is more to the scheme
|
| Than to give or to grab
|
| You didn’t even see it coming
|
| You know you should’ve seen it coming
|
| You might’ve even seen it coming
|
| You could-a would-a seen it all
|
| Couldn’t, wouldn’t, shouldn’t have to crawl
|
| So shoulder, grow older
|
| Don’t ever grow colder
|
| And time will bring love to your side
|
| Oh, if you choose to refuse to sit tight while she passes you by
|
| And maybe, just maybe
|
| She’ll take you there safely
|
| No more of your running around
|
| And over and over by nightfall
|
| You’ll dance in the soot on the ground
|
| You didn’t even see it coming
|
| You know you should’ve seen it coming
|
| You might’ve even seen it coming
|
| You could-a would-a seen it all
|
| Could-a would-a had it all |
