The Great Divide

I can't recall the last time that we talkedAbout anything but looking out for copsWe got cigarette burns in the same side of our handsWe ain't friends, we're just moronsWho broke skin in the same spotBut I've never seen you take a turn that wideAnd I'm high enoughTo still care if I dieSo I tried to read the thoughtsThat you'd worked overtime to stopYou said, "Fuck off," and I said nothing for a whileYou know I think about you all the timeAnd my deep misunderstanding of your lifeAnd how bad it must have been for you back thenAnd how hard it was to keep it all insideI hope you settlе down,I hope you marry richI hope you're scarеd of all the ordinary shitLike murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skinAnd not your soul and what He might do with itYou inched yourself across the great divideWhile we drove aimlesslAlong the Twin State lineI heard nothing but the bass in every ballad that you'd playWhile you swore to God the singer read your mindBut the world is scared of hesitating thingsYeah, they only shoot the birds who cannot singAnd I'm finally aware of how shitty and unfairIt was to stare ahead like everything was fineYou know I think about you all the timeAnd my deep misunderstanding of your lifeAnd how bad it must have been for you back thenAnd how hard it was to keep it all insideI hope you settle down,I hope you marry rich (Oh-ohh)I hope you're scared of all the ordinary shit (Oh-ohh)Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin (Oh-ohh)And not your soul and what He might do with itRage, in small waysDid you wish that I could knowThat you'd fade to some placeI wasn't brave enough to go?I hope you settle down,I hope you marry richI hope you're scared of all the ordinary shitLike murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skinAnd not your soul and what He might do with itAhh (Ahh), woahAhhAhh, LordAhhI hope you threw a brick right into that stained glassI hope you're with someoneWho isn't scared to askI hope that you're not losing sleepAbout what's nextOr about your soul and what He might do with it
