Gaslight Anthem (The Song Not The Band) Songtext
von Thin Lips

The common ground
That′s where I plant my shoes
Here I thought I was next to you

A stubborn town
My mouth opens and closes
Spit on my tongue while my pride decomposes

And you just stare
And you just stare
And you just stare
And you just

Squint my eyes
It's hard to see
Beneath my skin
It′s haunting me
I feel my past
Just swelling out
The change I made
Just won't add up


It's no surprise
I′m demonized

A different town
That′s where I had to move
Had to go to get away from you

But I was bound
My words turn into poison
Flipped on your tongue to convey disappointment

But I was there
I won't just let it go
And life′s not fair
That lesson's hard, I know

Squint my eyes
It′s hard to see
What I thought I said
It's haunting me
I feel my past
Just swelling out
You just can′t buy
Your way through love


It's no surprise
I'm demonized
