headlights

charlie cunningham

we're not gonna have that talk

it's already been said

i'd given you my hand before

get too easily led

played my heartstrings so perfectly

left unraveling

won't further than you know

i'm sure flowers still need to grow though

i'm sorry

you don't even enter my thoughts

i don't wait for your calls

you can pretend till the end

i walked you out my door

inside

been working hard i get by

just keep ahead of their headlights

i used to be the one you'd call

and you'd always get fed

you should learn to stand up tall

not spend hours in bed

now my heart sings in different keys with new harmony

come further than you know

i'm sure

flowers still need to grow though

i'm sorry

you don't even enter my thoughts

i don't wait for your calls

you can pretend till the end

i walked you out my door

inside

been working hard i get by

just keep ahead of their headlights

but don't be taking it lightly

unwise

just go sharpen your mind

eventually you'll pay the price

we've all got hills to climb

and sleepless nights

you don't even enter my thoughts

and i don't wait for your call

you can pretend till the end

i walked you out my door

inside

been working hard i get by

just keeping ahead of their headlights

you could escape those thoughts

you could open new doors

maybe you'd jump to the front maybe

you'd pass us all

inside

been working hard

i get by

just keeping ahead of your headlights
