Hurt Locker

Closer upon your lips
Lying to me
Saying, “I′m with you
Wherever you’ll be”
A jump cut to the bed
We used to share
Before you had the baby
And I cut off my hair

What′s a life without the consequences?
What’s a knife without the sharpened edges?

Did I cut the wrong wire today?
Did I set it on fire?
The way
Scotland burned in ‘44
Like I never learned to leave a war
I just keep coming back for more
For more

A wide shot of the aisle of a grocery store
Panned down to the crooked wheel on the dirty white floor
Maybe all I′ll ever be is a cameo here
A face a crowd might recognize, it comes on twice a year
And then I disappear

Did I cut the wrong wire today?
Did I set it on fire?
The way
Scotland burned in ′44
Like I never learned to leave a war
I just keep coming back for more

Can we take a walk before you walk away?
Can we try to talk, or will you call it fake?
Can we take a walk before you walk away?
Walk away

What’s a life without the consequences?
What′s a knife without the sharpened edges?

Did I cut the wrong wire today?
Did I set it on fire?
The way
Scotland burned in ‘44
Like I never learned to leave a war
I just keep coming back for more
For more
