Stolen Car

Lyrics

You walked into my house last night
 I couldn't help but notice
 A light that was long gone, still burning strong
 You were sitting, your fingers like fuses
 Your eyes were cinnamon
 You said you stand for every known abuse
 That was ever threatened to anyone but you
 And why should I know better by now
 When I'm old enough not to?
 While every line speaks the language of love
 It never held the meaning I was thinking of
 And I can't decide over right or wrong
 I guess sometimes you need the place where you belong
 Some may sing the wrong words to the wrong melody
 It's little things like this that matter to me
 Others feel that you should stand
 For every known abuse to hand
 And all the things that they could never see
 You said you stood for every known abuse
 That was ever promised to anyone like you
 Don't you wish you knew better by now
 When you're old enough not to?
 When every line speaks the language of love
 And never held the meaning I was thinking of
 And I can't decide over right or wrong
 You left the feeling that I just do not belong
 (Do not belong, do not belong, do not belong, do not belong)
 (Do not belong, do not belong, do not belong, do not belong-)
 One drink too many and a joke gone too far
 I see a face drive like a stolen car
 Gets harder to hide when you're hitching a ride
 Harder to hide what you really saw
 Oh yeah, you stand for every known abuse
 That I've ever seen my way through
 Don't I wish I knew better by now?
 Well, I think I'm starting to
 When every line speaks the language of love
 And never held the meaning I was thinking of
 And I've lost the line between right or wrong
 I just want to find the place where I belong
 Why should you know better by now
 When you're old enough not to?
 I wish I knew better by now
 When I'm old enough not to
