Passing Through A Screen Door

[Verse 1]
Cigarette smoke dances back in the window
And I can see the haze on its own light
I’m conjuring ghosts on a forty hour ride home
And they keep asking me what I’m doing with my life
[Interlude]
While my cousins go to bed with their wives
I’m feeling like I've fallen behind
[Verse 2]
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
[Interlude]
The first thing that I do when I walk in is find a way out for when shit gets bad and
[Chorus x2]
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 3]
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
[Interlude]
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 x2]
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 x2]
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
