Desperate Things

[00:17.25] She was doing sixty in a thirty-five
[00:23.91] I hit the lights and pulled her over
[00:30.83] When I reached the window of the driver side
[00:37.68] There was blood from her mouth, dry on her shoulder
[00:44.24] I've never had much patience for guys that hit
[00:51.40] For more than just obvious reasons
[00:58.10] I asked if she wanted me to take him in
[01:04.84] She laughed it off like lemonade
[01:12.00] When you're in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
[01:20.77] You'll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
[01:29.54] And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
[01:38.34] People do desperate things
[01:52.28] I've been taking lunch breaks at her work
[01:59.25] When the restaurant ain't too crowded
[02:05.63] She knows me and my wife got a little girl
[02:12.40] We don't talk too much about it
[02:19.28] The other night she met me way out west
[02:26.14] Things went further than they should have
[02:32.82] When she undid the buttons of her dress
[02:39.64] I didn't stop her, but I could have
[02:47.05] When you're in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
[02:55.74] You'll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
[03:04.59] But when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
[03:13.17] People do desperate things
[03:27.33] I know where he drinks most every night
[03:34.26] It's our local hero sports bar
[03:41.26] I've got him cuffed and sweating cold
[03:47.75] In the back of my patrol car
[03:54.46] You forget how dark the canyon gets
[04:01.28] It's a real uneasy feeling
[04:07.59] I've never had much patience for guys who hit
[04:14.73] For more than just obvious reasons
[04:22.39] When you're in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
[04:30.95] You'll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
[04:40.00] But when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
[04:48.74] People do desperate things
