Desperate Things

[00:17.59] She was doing 60 in a 35
[00:23.90] I hit the lights and pulled her over
[00:31.11] When I reached the window of the driver side
[00:37.82] There was blood from her mouth, dry on her shoulder
[00:44.32] I've never had much patience for guys that hit
[00:51.40] For more than just obvious reasons
[00:58.49] I asked if she wanted me to take him in
[01:05.06] She laughed it off like lemonade
[01:12.16] When you're in love
[01:14.74] You can be blinded by your own heart
[01:20.81] You'll bend your own truth
[01:23.67] So twisted up you could justify sin
[01:29.81] And when people in love are desperate enough
[01:34.22] To abandon their dreams
[01:38.44] People do desperate things
[01:45.55]
[01:52.54] I've been taking lunch breaks at her work
[01:59.21] When the restaurant ain't too crowded
[02:05.75] She knows me and my wife got a little girl
[02:12.58] We don't talk too much about it
[02:19.43] The other night she met me way out west
[02:26.17] Things went further than they should have
[02:33.05] When she undid the buttons of her dress
[02:39.70] I didn't stop her, but I could have
[02:47.12] When you're in love
[02:49.56] You can be blinded by your own heart
[02:55.87] You'll bend your own truth
[02:58.75] So twisted up you could justify sin
[03:04.76] But when people in love are desperate enough
[03:09.20] To abandon their dreams
[03:13.57] People do desperate things
[03:20.43]
[03:27.53] I know where he drinks most every night
[03:34.20] It's our local hero sports bar
[03:41.57] I've got him cuffed and sweating cold
[03:47.85] In the back of my patrol car
[03:54.62] You forget how dark the canyon gets
[04:01.30] It's a real uneasy feeling
[04:07.95] I've never had much patience for guys who hit
[04:15.01] For more than just obvious reasons
[04:22.57] When you're in love
[04:25.22] You can be blinded by your own heart
[04:31.36] You'll bend your own truth
[04:34.28] So twisted up you could justify sin
[04:39.99] But when people in love are desperate enough
[04:44.67] To abandon their dreams
[04:48.80] People do desperate things
[04:57.33]
