Cut the Wire

[Intro] [Aggressive acoustic strumming] [Dampened strings, percussive hits] [Verse 1] Left the engine idling in the driveway slush We’ve been screaming just to fill the hush Your keys are rattling in the plastic tray Same old ghosts, just a different day I looked at your hands, they were shaking a bit Lighting a smoke you didn't even want to hit And I realized right then, in the dashboard light We’ve run out of road in the middle of the night [Verse 2] I still taste the salt when you say my name But loving you now feels like losing a game We’ve patched up the holes with duct tape and grit But the frame is bent, let’s just admit it I’d die for you, girl, you know that’s the truth But we’ve burnt through the engine and wasted our youth Trying to fix what was born to be broke Now the cabin is filling with nothing but smoke [Chorus] So let’s cut the wire before the spark Turns into a fire that leaves us in the dark I love you enough to let the door swing wide Instead of drowning inside of this ride (Let it go) Yeah, let’s leave it right here on the side [Bridge] [Harmonica Solo - Wailing] (Don't cry, don't scream) (It's just the way it's gotta be) No more "maybe tomorrow" or "give it a week" The truth is a mountain that's getting too steep! [Acoustic Guitar Solo - Bluesy Slide] [Chorus] So let’s cut the wire before the spark Turns into a fire that leaves us in the dark I love you enough to let the door swing wide Instead of drowning inside of this ride (Let it go) Yeah, let’s leave it right here on the side [Outro] Keep the records, I’ll take the tools Two tired hearts, just a couple of fools (Better this way) Yeah, it's better this way Just walk to the porch Don't look back at the car (It's over now) [End]
