Southeast Engine - Law-Abiding Citizen lyrics

My wife and I we met in school we studied geography we traveled everywhere together it was always her and me and in the moment that we met I could feel the ground move we were married within the year moving as fast as we could I found work as a cartographer making maps of the oceans floor that I'd sell to the government to find oil off shore and I always wanted to get ahead and get ahead I did we prayed for a fortune and our prayers were answered And so I‘ve always slept at night undisturbed it seems never in my life ‘til now have I recalled my dreams Yeah I've kept up with my work and with my family but somewhere along the way my life got ahead of me Hey! I've had to make my way Hey! I've had to fight for this life I live for this sky so bright but now my dreams are haunted by her pale face in the night I could not bring myself to bring the dark into the light
