Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't live this way
Breaking all my rules again
Choking on my gin
You push till I give in
Till the loser always wins
[Verse 2]
Somehow with his beckoning
Bruising with his threats
Confusing what he says
But I won't live that way
Though I kind of want to anyway
[Verse 3]
Kind of wanna play
With all the pretty and the pure
When I return to the earth
I return to the dust
No more beauty by the pound
And this I do not trust
[Verse 4]
'Cause nothing forgives
Rules and narrow margins
In our lives
It's rules and narrow margins
But I'ma slip by
[Verse 5]
I can't find the time
I don't know the future
I couldn't bring that past back
I waste what little time I have
[Verse 6]
But I swear I almost touched it
Yet it slipped between my fingers
Sent shivers down my spine
Cut a splinter in my mind
[Verse 7]
But it wasn't nothing, again
These rules and narrow margins
But our life is rules and narrow margins
But I'ma slip by
[Verse 8]
Rules and narrow margins
Rules and narrow margins
But I will slip by
