lyrics

I was walking sideways, beneath the crooked rain

When I spotted a figure, she was alone by the interstate

That’s when the food chain was suddenly rearranged

Once I got a taste of your loving girl I couldn't stop eating for days



I couldn't tell up I couldn't tell down

Should I wear a smile or should I sport a frown

I tried to get high but always ended up coming down

I plotted my escape ya'll but got stuck in the same town



I was wearing your jacket, but it didn't quite feel the same

And like a badge of honor, I was displaying all of my pain

So now the meaning, were suddenly rearranged

As I stood emotionless like some fully illustrated blank page





I couldn't tell up I couldn't tell down

Should I wear a smile or should I sport a frown

I tried to get high but always ended up coming down

I've traveled state to state ya'll but got stuck in the same town



First you’re hot, then you’re cold as ice

How can you be so mean, yet be so nice

You say yes, when you really mean no

So tell me baby how I am supposed to know

Which way to go



I was skating backwards, over some thinning ice

You were offering a discount baby, but ya know I paid full price

I felt defeated, a little faithful, a little cheated

But ya gave an took, while you clung to your books and now I'm just depleted

Come on give it to me baby



I couldn't tell up I couldn't tell down

Should I wear a smile or should I sport a frown

I tried to get high but always ended up coming down

I plotted my escape ya'll but got stuck in the same town



Stuck in the same damn town
