lyrics

Had an easy life as far as a life goes
Nobody gets out uncut
Nobody gets out alive
Finding out all about
what nobody tells you
And wondering why after all this time
I just don't get wise


But when I met you
you pushed the questions aside
And made me feel
that they'd be answered in time
But now that there's
a ltttle distance between us
I can feel those old demons
dropping by

Got into some trouble
from keeping my mouth closed.
Got into some trouble
for opening it at the wrong time
Held on too tightly
to some things I should let go
And didn't grab the opportunity
when it was right there and mine


But when I met you
you pushed the darkness aside
and made me feel
I'd got the balance all wrong

But now that there's
a ltttle distance between us
I can feel those old demons
coming back to call

And I can close the door
kill the light, shut eyes tight
But I can't rest my soul tonight.

Sometimes when I'm running
I go by the old place
Everything's the sweet old same
But somehow strangely small
To your old friends and family
You never get older
You're pigeonholed for life
You know
you never really change at all.

But when I met you
You know you made me feel
just the way I really wanted to feel
But now that familiar is wearing thin
I can feel those old demons
You know the y're moving right on in.

And I can close the door
kill the light, shut eyes tight
But I can't rest my soul tonight.
