Walking Papers 2

Before You Arrived

Her silhouette stood black up against a shattered sky

Like it never happened my life flashed before my eyes

She says that she needs me but she don’t say what for

She asked to come in as she was walking through the door

You planned your escape before you arrived

You held it all inside

You covered your tracks you killed your headlights

You held it all inside

Torn from the pages of a Miller Manuscript

For every kiss there’s a lie that won’t leave her lips

She’s a stray bullet I’m the smoking gun

She’s got her own way of getting things done

You planned your escape before you arrived

You held it all inside

You covered your tracks you killed your headlights

You held it all inside

Leave the motor running I won’t leave you waiting

In The cold outside

You planned your escape I’m your alibi

You hide it all inside
