Haywire - Get Your Gun

I once claimed my heart had room

For everyone and everything

There some rooms had no windows

And some rooms had no walls

But it wasn’t built for you and I

This old complex of mine

You should’ve seen the place

An endless maze

Why you laughing?

Saw you hiding

Am I coming on too strong?

Yes, I know these words, tall tales and slures are used and tired

But it runs too deep and what lies beneath went haywire

Your’s was filled with fear

Or else you wouldn’t be here

I bet you were like a river

Where they would quench their thirst

Muddy waters and violent swan songs

And the hearts we filled were not our own

On our way, on our knees, leaving fear behind

On our way, on our knees, leaving fear behind

Like me, you waited like a fool

In a crawl-space saved for two

I used to hear them through the walls

But now it’s quiet like a tomb

You say it’s all just give and take

But I just see this empty space

Between these binary poles

A place where we could stay

And I know we haven’t met

I’m told you linger in my head

But, I swear I could have sworn

That I’ve seen you out there before

Doubt is my rope back to you

And I just hope you’ll be there

But I’m bound to build, break down, rebuild this roofless tower

Yet I know we’ll meet, when this old reel, turns haywire

On my way
