Street Games Lyrics

Family homes

Discarded fictions, envelopes

Empty words hardened for shutting mouths

Studied and built

Perfect pictures, pantries filled

Your eyes start playing tricks on you

Your ears won't help you find your way home

Your way home

If I could take you back

To the way that you were I would but I can't

And the part that's worse is

I could break you down

If one wrong word fell daftly from my mouth

So I wait for you and see

Ahead of the curve

The cul-de-sac your heart's been curbed to see

That all that come will go

The mortar provides

The fastest path but walking won't suffice

With all these tricks you've learned

I know that you could make it on your own

On your own

If I could take you back

To the way that you were I would but I can't

And the part that's worse is

I could break you down

If one wrong word fell daftly from my mouth

So I wait for you and see

I don't bet on hope

Cause I know your road

I know your street games
