Sideways Songtext
von Nick Hexum Quintet

She′s 22 and not from here
A rebel all the way through
A static princess never winces
When she's telling the truth
Her beauty′s undenied
All her makeup cannot hide
She checks her self-reflection
Tells it different every time
With all the talk her mind won't stop
From saying little white lies

Said how do I get there
To the place where I do not care
There's so much to remind her here


I try to keep you here
You seem to disappear
It keeps going sideways
Keeps going sideways
Once again I forgave you
But I cannot save you
Just don′t turn back
You′re better than that

I'm like the cleanup crew
Embarking on another rescue
With so much baggage
In what package should I be on the loose
We are two of a kind
And we′re both out of our minds
Our imperfections perfectly aligned

I try to keep you here
You seem to disappear
It keeps going sideways
Keeps going sideways
Once again I forgave you
But I cannot save you
Just don't turn back
You′re better than that


Wherever you roam
As things go askew
I'll be right here
Crazy with you
Out on the loose
Two lunatics free
We′re gonna be sideways
To infinity

I try to keep you here
You seem to disappear
It keeps going sideways
Keeps going sideways
Once again I forgave you
But I cannot save you
Just don't turn back
You're better than that
