Some kind of enemy of yours was playing hard to find
Rinsed out your daily take and sold what you had left behind
It's not real and it's not right
I'm still here but I'm losing light
Some kind of energy on hand to give you what you need
Projected, reaching all in lights along our narrow lead
Slow pressure for a second chance
Lucky shot, risk taker
How did you know
How did you know
How did you know this was my favorite way to be
I'd let you go
I'd let you go
I'd let you go if you had nothing more for me
Some kind of document to see if they were ever okay
Slam down your morning air and fade into a darker play
Still waiting on a fatal mistake
But it's only pain adjacent
Run rattled by a militant stripe
I'm still here for the final rites
How did you know
How did you know
How did you know this was my favorite way to be
I'd let you go
I'd let you go
I'd let you go if you had nothing more for me
How did you ever know that I could never tuck and roll
How did you ever know that I could never tuck and roll
How did you ever know that I could never tuck and roll
How did you ever know that I could never tuck and roll

Bad news from the homefront
No go on the grocery store superstition
Feeling strange, a little shortchanged
Four hours left in the working day
So much for the natural change
Nothing here that we haven't seen enough of already
Steering into the skid is the only way
One more for the lucky few who made all this happen
I'd stick out like a sore thumb
But I've learned to hide my injuries
Nothing good on the radio
I hate the songs but I sing along anyway
And old times are on my mind
Like a dead plant I'm still watering
Great news from the two-lane parade
Another day of your life began its intermission
Feeling strange, a little shortchanged
Maybe you'll be a tourniquet and stop me from bleeding
I'd stick out like a sore thumb
But I've learned to hide my injuries
Nothing good on the radio
I hate the songs but I sing along anyway
And old times are on my mind
Like a dead plant I'm still watering
