Lyrics:
[Intro] Cigarette smoke dances back in the window And I can see the haze on the dome light I’m conjuring ghosts on a forty hour ride home And they keep asking me what I’m doing with my life While my cousins go to bed with their wives I’m feeling like I've fallen behind [Verse 1] Well, the highway won I’m listening to traffic reports one on one Coming quietly undone I was born to run Away from anything good An escape artist's son Sun-drenched pavement in my blood The first thing that I do when I walk in is find a way out for when shit gets bad and [Chorus] I’ve been looking for Tears in the screen door (tears in the screen door) I’ve been waiting for Another disaster (another disaster) [Verse 2] Well I’m terrified Like a kid in the sixties Staring at the sky Waiting for the bomb to fall And it’s all a lie What they say about stability It scares me sometimes The emptiness I see in my eyes And all the kids names I’ve ever liked are tied to tragedy And I don’t want my children growing up to be anything like me [Chorus] I’ve been looking for Tears in the screen door (tears in the screen door) I’ve been waiting for Another disaster (another disaster) And I was kinda hoping you'd say I was kinda hoping you'd stay [Bridge] I keep a flashlight And a small knife In the corner of my bed stand I keep a flashlight And the train times But you wouldn't understand How could you understand? Jesus Christ, I’m twenty-six All the people I've graduated with All have kids All have wives All have people who care if they come home at night Well, Jesus Christ, did I fuck up? [Chorus] I’ve been looking for Tears in the screen door (tears in the screen door) I’ve been waiting for Another disaster (another disaster) And I was kinda hoping you'd say I was kinda hoping you'd stay I was kinda hoping you'd stay
