Twist the Knife

I've been alone on the wrong side of town

Shakin' off the cold and laughin' out loud

A look from your eyes tells me everything's fine

A kiss from your lips helps me put out my lights

'Cause I feel your heart beatin' on top of mine

As I feel the morning bring in the sunshine, mm

I can't recall where I may have gone

You say it's the moon is anyone's call

I've been around since anyone's guess

If I drop your mic will I pass your test

You say I never get anything right

You just don't believe it 'til they twist the knife

You asked me if I have any regrets

I wished I'd bet my last hundred on red

It's been a while since I've seen your face

Sorry, if somehow you feel outta place

I've been a feelin' like that my whole life

You just don't believe it 'til they twist the knife, mm

I hit the highway and wound up in jail

I lick my wounds from the hand that was held

Roaming I ramble and run from my own

Much like a song from an old rolling stone

Been where I've been, had to leave where I'd gone

And all I can think of is getting back home

So I can feel your heartbeat on top of mine

And hope that the morning can untwist the knife

I've felt the love and the violence that blooms

Wounded the silence and broke out the tomb

Cut down the back road my thumb in the air

Jumped on a train that was goin' nowhere

Still to this day there just ain't nothin' like

The ache in your heartbreak when they twist the knife
