Grand Theft - sixteen years lyrics

rate me

<b>sixteen years</b> by <i>Grand Theft</i><br />well the sixteen years

that we was allowed

the bottom gave the bottom fell out

you were there with your head real low

if you got hurt it never really showed

well i guess a father comes to terms

when he pauses and returns

it’s been a slow year

on the heartbreak shift

you come to love the ride

but you loathe the lift

the past is gone

and you’re hard on its heels

your knuckles white

from your grasp upon the wheel

and not one moment you deter

from the quiet you prefer

i used to don my coat and let some people in

but i shy away from the good it brings

i beat it good i soon got tired

i said i would and i never was a liar

and so your dreams are lulled with sleep

like the company you keep

i close my eyes and you are wide awake

oh the things we do ‘cause of debts unpaid

i’m keeping time by your faithful sigh

tomorrow sunday never satisfies

well i guess we’re water to the sea

i can draw your face from memory

i guess we’re water to the sea
