Put It Out

It was time to move on

I should have known better

With another year gone

Time to button up my sweater

Close to you...

Thats where I want to be tonight



I should have seen it coming

I was going for a ride

You were coming from the left

I was running from the right

If this wasn't a planned collision

I don't know what it is at all

Two months later

I'm no longer curled in a ball



She said



Hit the road with all the pressure you can take

Forget it all with every single step and breath you take

Take a match and try to light it all up

With every little fire

Comes another bad mistake



If today was tomorrow

Would yesterday be today?

With every new line

A new memory is made

I tried to keep it cool

I tried to make it all the way

But with every passing minute there's one less minute in the day, I said



Hit the road with all the pressure you can take

Forget it all with every single step and breath you take

Take a match and try to light it all up

With every little fire

Comes another bad mistake



Hit the road when all the pain gets in the way

Forget it all with every new friend and place you stay

Take a match and try to burn it all down

With every little flame

Comes another brick to lay



Hit the road when all the pain gets in the way

Forget it all with every single step and breath you take

Take a match and try to burn it all down

With every little flame

Comes another bad thought

Comes another lost word

Comes another bad mistake

Just put it out

Its mostly about me, I guess...a lot of it is quite metaphoric.
