Turnpike Gates

we could drag ourselves to bed and sleep. took everything i had, i kept it up til he would call. you made me feel like a criminal, and then there's you. you kept a smile through i would always walk the wire. you gave it all, i gave you reason to have doubt. i had to get out of there so i took the stairs. i don't want to fight with you if i can't be the one to have you. you sat in the chair like a queen in the kitchen. i memorized the lines your eyes made at every glance you shot my way. we would drag ourselves to bed and sleep. took everything i had, i kept it up til he would call. you made me feel like a criminal, and then theres you. you kept a smile though. i would always walk the wire but youre miserable and im useless. always making up excuses. i made you cry too many times so i'm hanging up that line. i'm throwing rocks at your floor. i'm knocking down your front door. i'm desperate tonight and i just want to fight. it's my confusion that makes me act so cold. so now go, go, go. if you want to be just left alone, put down that phone. but if you want me just call out hey boy!
