lyrics

Running With Knives

I wish I could go back to when friendship was honest
And summer divided the years of our lives
Tired of the sandbox we found our excitement
Playing with matches
And Running With Knives

As we grew older rebellion expanded
To Saturday night out on fast crazy drives
Sharing a bottle, cigarettes and secrets
We were playing with matches
And Running With Knives

It was so long ago, like another life lived
Now we all have houses, spouses, and kids
But it’s good for a smile to sometimes remember

I lecture my son to refrain from the wreckless
And dangerous things on which youth seem to thrive
He’d catch hell if I caught him, but scars on his fingers
Come from playing with matches
And Running With Knives

I won’t pretend to not know where I’m headed
At the end I don’t want any teary goodbye
When my light starts to fade let me lie in defiance
Playing with matches
And Running With Knives

Playing with matches
Playing with matches
Playing with matches
Playing with matches
Playing with matches and Running With Knives
