Low on time with the headlights coming for you
Lied to your mother, smoking cigs on the swing-set
Only nineteen, burn trees with your lovers, but
They got no mothers, do they? Yah, they got no mothers
I hid my head on the deck and I passed out
Well I'd kick the habit but I don't like being told to
And can't you see that I've always been so honest with you
But theres all these pitfalls to being misunderstood
So I lay my life out
Yah, I lay it right before you
Don't let anyone in
First I have got to know my own head
Don't let anyone in
First I must get a grip on my head
I lay my life out
Yah, I lay it right before you
Break my body, it breaks my brain
But it wasn't because of you, it was the pressure on me
God it's lovely how you made me right
There were no words about it, but I swear you saved my life
