Picked you out my pocket, and you fell into the road
You asked me if I'd make it better
Asked me if we could grow old together

But you don't mean a thing to me
So I'll walk by quite happily
And now I guess that you've moved on aswell


You took me to the bricks
You start to build a wall

Keep peace intact
Protect your family
Keep them from harm

Live peacefully, but they came crumbling down
The second you left town,
And now your family are gone, are gone


Understand me, take me, fully
Underground where I can not be found

Understand me, take me, fully
Underground where I can not be found


And a letter that you wrote
That had been stashed inside my wall
Telling me all about your life

It had been there for a quite a while
It skipped out certain chapters
That I thought had really mattered

And now I feel like I missed out

Out, baby out, get out of town

Baby out, baby out, get out
Baby out, baby out, get out of town
Before it catches up with you

And you cannot withstand
Before it catches up with you
And you cannot withstand

Before it catches up with you
And you cannot withstand
