Shifts Lyrics
Sing along with all that's gone wrong
Because your knives are getting sharp
And your lungs are getting black
And there'll be no going back by the time you get that far
I'll be gone while you're still young
Before your hands go dry and numb from all the work they've never done
Before you're tired of coming home and finding all your kids in love
So tell your man to watch your coat, he'll be on his fucking own this time
Me and you are sticking close, and you won't be going home tonight
So go ahead turn off the light
You said you wanna change your life
And we only have tonight
So every time you see his ghost,
You'll be thinking of your own short life
How it's all been going slow, and how you never should've drove that night
This is not a shift of time, this is a shift in what is right
And we only have tonight
So tell your man to watch your coat, he'll be on his fucking own this time
Me and you are sticking close, and you won't be going home tonight,
Tonight,
Tonight
Because your knives are getting sharp
And your lungs are getting black
And there'll be no going back by the time you get that far
Before your hands go dry and numb from all the work they've never done
Before you're tired of coming home and finding all your kids in love
So tell your man to watch your coat, he'll be on his fucking own this time
So go ahead turn off the light
You said you wanna change your life
And we only have tonight
You'll be thinking of your own short life
How it's all been going slow, and how you never should've drove that night
This is not a shift of time, this is a shift in what is right
Me and you are sticking close, and you won't be going home tonight,
Tonight,
Tonight
