Lyrics

I was the last to know As the paint it dried on the pavement And now I'm waiting for Anyone at all You had the wrong idea Although the birds they once called your name And if they called mine too I didn't hear them I wouldn't know What did the sirens sing? And did the hospital take you in? You played with fireworks, with daddy's drugs On a holiday, you said you just needed to get away Taking some midnight drive out to Long Beach Island Stranded, half-naked on a strange man's couch No hearts are broken when there's no one to let down In a while, I'm going to wish it was over In a while, I'll get so stupid and young In a while, I'll come to remember I never want to take another chance on anyone Just when I thought it was the end You say, "who am I to you now?" And with the tables turned Would I run? Would I cry? Will I ever really learn to love someone across the sea? She is waiting there for me While I'm running ever softly away In a while, I'm going to wish it was over In a while, I'll get so stupid and young In a while, I'll come to remember I never want to take another chance on anyone And honestly I was not trying to deceive I can't believe the things I do to myself I want to leave what I had never intended To never set foot inside this burning house again
