Lyrics
[slow intro]
An everlasting cigarette
That's all you're want
Waiting for a bus to take you back home
'Cause Tuesday came too soon
Wednesday left you feeling used
Oh tomorrow, you hope at least it's warm
[emotional chorus]
Don't you wanna live a simple life?
You pray for change before you turn off the lights
Burn a bridge every time it feels right
You don't wanna forget where you're from
[verse 1]
So tired of feeling cheap
You're always in need
Innocent, at least that's what you think
You got two beats to kill
So empty your gun
Oh, good intentions
They weren't quite enough
[emotional chorus]
Don't you wanna live a simple life?
You pray for change before you turn off the lights
Burn a bridge every time it feels right
You don't wanna forget where you're from
[verse 1]
So tired of feeling cheap
You're always in need
Innocent, at least that's what you think
You got two beats to kill
So empty your gun
Oh, good intentions
They weren't quite enough
[emotional chorus]
Don't you wanna live a simple life?
You pray for change before you turn off the lights
Burn a bridge every time it feels right
You don't wanna forget where you're from
[verse 2]
If I had the chance to say
Remove the walls, let's clean the slate
Would it make us new?
Should we find a way to start
Without the mess we've made this far
Would it make us new?
I've seen this movie once before
Don't need to see the end, no
[Refrain]
I've seen this movie once before
Don't need to see the end, no
[verse 3]
I can't get away
And you will never leave me
Addicted to the game
It's time to make it easy
I can't get enough
So I have to do the right thing
And give you back
'Cause I'm done stealin'
If someone looked into our case
And said our files could be erased
Would that make us new?
Just tell me when and where to sign
I'll check in and do the time
And tell the truth
[song fades out]
[refrain]
I've seen this movie once before
Don't need to see the end, no
I've seen this movie once before
Don't need to see the end, no
[outro]
If someone looked into our case
And said our files could be erased
Would that make us new?
Just tell me when and where to sign
I'll check in and do the time
And tell the truth
