Lyrics

I can still remember the first time you tried it
Just like yesterday
High as a kite, yeah you tried it and you liked it
Problems went away
I watched as you turned the outside in
And took off with the night
Without a care in the world you never felt so right -
Quite alright

So you started buyin' hope, you needed it to cope
Went on the streets and copped your hope
You handed me the rope
How could good be bad? felt like you never had
How could something good be bad?
That question drove ya mad

It made you smile every once-in-a-while
Well it made me smile too
Runnin' for your life - keep on runnin' boy
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide - you can't hide
You just ran outta time

I can still remember the first time
You rode the mainline
Just like yesterday
You sit down on the hook and I saw that look
I knew it was my lucky day
Out of sight, you felt the sting
And it was love at first bite
Love & marriage happened all in one night

Shit happened much too fast
The honeymoon it didn't last

You wanted more - I wanted you
You needed more - I needed you
You lost your friends, you lost your girl
You lost it all, you had what you needed cause
Love, friends and family didn't really matter to you
Not to you anymore

You lived in hell, you called it home
It was a living hell..
Home sweet home
Runnin' for your life - keep on runnin' boy
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide - you can't hide
You just ran outta time

I can still remember the day that I took you
Just like yesterday
You did too much of something that was much too good
Started slipping away
I made my move, it was so easy cause you were so weak
I just kicked down the door I didn't have to sneak
Job well done, 'cause usually 18 year olds are tough
But you did half my job for me & that was enough
