Crooked Lines - Jesse Harris

Listen, I’ve seen this before

Listen, I’ve walked through that door

But why am I still here today?

Why have I not gone my way?

You were lovely, you were kind

Now you’ve gone and changed your mind

Is there something that won’t stray

In the change from night to day?

Strange to say at this hour

That you were all I had

When everything you gave me

You have taken back

Maybe we’re just crooked lines

I thought we got straight this time

Dancing through the old arcade

To the drums of the parade

Strange to say at this hour

That you were all I had

When everything you gave me

You have taken back

Vainly I reached out to fly

Thinking life might pass me by

End up down along the shore

Where no one knows me anymore
