Bedford Drive - Backdraft lyrics

it's like i'm walkin on gravel learn to deal with the rocks in my shoes and i'm swimmin in an ocean learn to handle the sand in my swimsuit you're walkin on gravel learn to deal with the rocks in your shoes and you're swimmin in an ocean you learn to handle the sand in your swimsuit, yeah it's like you're walkin on gravel and she's the rocks in your shoes and you're swimmin in an ocean and she is the sand in your swimsuit ACT ONE: SCENE ONE sunny summer rain softly sprinkles down ... soothing your sunburn a quick upward glance ... and a thank you shot to two pa**ing clouds ... backlit & glowing what a perfect day to ... spend with your girlfriend you ring the bell & knock 3 times ... but nobody answers hear it quietly unlocking from the inside open up the door backdraft, now you're lying on the floor ... bloodied up & sore wishing you never saw her ... that chick but you're running back quick & you're making me sick i wish you all the best trying to heal that hole in your chest it keeps you up all night ... she's got you wrapped so tight round her middle finger skip to scene two bruises becoming purple-blue ... too big to cover gashes too deep to heal ... no one to stitch them something you did or said a few weeks ago ... she hasn't let go apologies never accepted ... but always expected when you think the fire has dwindled down ... to nothing but ashes you drop your guard again open up the door backdraft, now you're lying on the floor ... bloodied up & sore wishing you never saw her ... that chick but you're running back quick & you're making me sick i wish you all the best trying to heal that hole in your chest it keeps you up all night ... she's got you wrapped so tight round her middle finger i know she hates it when you're complacent i know you love her and she just fakes it what part of wrapped around her finger don't you understand? what part of wrapped around her finger don't you understand? open up the door backdraft, now you're lying on the floor ... bloodied up & sore wishing you never saw her ... that chick but you're running back quick & you're making me sick i wish you all the best trying to heal that hole in your chest it keeps you up all night ... she's got you whipped all right.
