karma Songtext
von Arlie

It was raining when you came in
You said, "Sorry, I′m all wet"
I said, "You don't have to be sorry
I′ll help you take care of that"

You lay it all out on the table
I said, "There's no need to make a mess
We try to study, don't get a lot done
All busy worried ′bout that test"

College hall′s no place for a study date
You couldn't look yourself straight through the mirror
Wasn′t my fault to egg you on, I couldn't wait
I should′ve known you, couldn't hold your own liquor
It′s a shorefire but your daddy wouldn't pay
He finds out, I'm going down undercover
You know the truth is loving you was not a mistake
But that′s a lotta bad karma
I wouldn′t make a bad father


Now you're saying you′re gonna leave me
It took a long time to get you there
You're still a hot mess in your white dress
I′m busy trying not to stare

Oh freedom, oh freedom
Like a heartbeat can drive you mad
The thunder outside drowning out my visions
Of what we lost and what we had

College hall's such a cold place to be awake
You couldn′t look yourself straight through the mirror
Wasn't my fault to egg you on, I couldn't wait
I should′ve known you, couldn′t hold your own liquor
It's a shorefire but your daddy wouldn′t pay
He finds out, I'm going down undercover
You know the truth is loving you was not a mistake
But that′s a lotta bad karma
Oh, I wouldn't make a bad father


And I′m afraid that I'm to blame if you give up, Cassie
If I ever make it out of my head
You can have me
Maybe I could stick around
Yeah, I could shape up, settle down
But tonight I'm freaking out
′Cause you won′t call

Cold shoulder, pulled over on the interstate
Double take, saw a little face in the mirror
Knew we couldn't tell your mother when I saw your plates
Heated seats but you couldn′t speak through the shivers
You zip your jacket, try to hide your red letter A
Half mast, scatter ashes in the water
You know the truth is you could cut this any other way
It's just a lotta bad karma
Oh, I wouldn′t make a bad father

But you won't call, no
But you won′t
You won't
You won't call
