Scared Straight Songtext
von The Long Winters

Washington′s on the run
I'm in the middle of speakin′
And I run to the gun
It's evenin'
Leadin′ to the long night
It′s such a feelin'
For someone so young
Plane tip

You′re feelin' so washed up
And you′re meanin'
When you say you′re done
Five lanes of freeway
But it's all gone dark
You're called to say, you′re gonna run

Can you wait?
Can you stand out?
Are you brave or are you, scared straight?
Scared straight


She didn′t want you to, speakin' right
She didn′t want you to, be strong
She didn't want you to, act nice
She didn′t want you to, take so long

She didn't want you to, hard time
She didn′t want you to, seem tired
She didn't want you to, be right
She didn't want you to, get so wild

Can you wait?
Can′t you stand out?
Are you brave or are you, scared straight?
Scared straight

Maybe you belong to someone
Maybe you have a fight in that life
Maybe smoke belongs, in the sky
Maybe I, hate when you cry

Can you wait?
Can you stand out?
Are you brave or are you, scared straight?
Scared straight


You were hurt, so you got hurt
You were cursed, stolen, scarred
You were searched for then ignored
You wanna burn the lies
Just let us both on fire
You′re faking

So I pretend to leave and waitin'
For this to be fine
It′s true, little miss me, maybe
Barbed guard
We're gonna have to try something new

Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Fire down on you
Let me breathe

Fire down on you
Let me breathe
Fire down on you
Let me breathe
Fire down on you
Down on you, down on you
My request
