Over and over Look over your shoulder At all of the soot on the ground Oh, it's been falling down From the moment you got into town You're older, you're bolder You've never been colder You come in here looking for more And oh, you take all you can fit in your arms When you walk out the door
You didn't even see it coming You know you should've seen it coming You might have even seen it coming You could have would have seen it all Could have would have had it all
Father, oh father Your sons and your daughters They'll learn how to stand on their own Oh, when a slap on the left And a kick to the right's all they know Daily, or daily But then again maybe You'll learn how to love what you have Oh, if you'll find there is more to the scheme Than to give or to grab
You didn't even see it coming You know you should've seen it coming You might have even seen it coming You could have would have seen it all Couldn't wouldn't shouldn't have to crawl
So shoulder, grow older Don't ever grow colder And time will bring love to your side Oh, if you choose to refuse to sit tight while she passes you by And maybe, just maybe She'll take you there safely No more of your running around And over and over by nightfall You'll dance in the soot on the ground
You didn't even see it coming You know you should've seen it coming You might have even seen it coming You could have would have seen it all Could have would have had it all
