Hammer The Screw Lyrics

I'm sure it must be a sight

When I sleep alone at night

Watching memories on my phone

Curled up tightly on my side

Setting my own hair alight

Suppose I'm reaping what I sow

And sometimes I close my eyes

To the thought of what might come

And I find I cannot see

Past what's in front of me

But I do it on my own

So when I toss & turn, and I think of her

I know just what she'd do

She'd laugh and say "Good god, what's come of you?"

So when the thoughts still hurt & the skin does burn

I know just what I'll do

Fight the tide, hammer the screw

And she pulls my hair aside

Makes me look her in the eye

Tells me just how much I've grown

I know I should feel some pride

So I smile & I lie

Couldn't do it all alone

And sometimes I close my eyes

To the thought of what moves on

And I find I don't wanna see

Past what's in front of me

But I do it all alone

So when I toss & turn, and I think of her

I know just what she'd do

She'd laugh and say "Good god, what's come of you?"

So when the thoughts still hurt & the skin does burn

I know just what I'll do

Fight the tide, hammer the screw

Don't leave me here alone with her, with her

Like baking in the sun, like baking I burn

I burn

So when I toss & turn, and I think of her

I know just what she'd do

She'd laugh and say "Good god, what's come of you?"

So when the thoughts still hurt & the skin does burn

I know just what I'll do

Fight the tide, hammer the screw
