Chrome

Only so much that a man can stand to take
Hand in hand the plans we make
Danced around the subject, slammed it on your face
Got up and ran away
These decisions last, hidden in the past
I knew it back when we were kids sitting in the caf
We didn't ask for what was given back

If you gotta run, run like this
If you gotta front, backstroke it
If you gotta blow, if you gotta break
If you gotta make a getaway then shake a leg, escape
If you gotta ride, step on it
If you gotta take a hike, go hitch
If you gotta blow, then you should grow some nuts for your heartache and go

Make no mistake, I'm gone
But this world's too big for you to take it on
While you wait alone it'll knock you down and race along
A lot of blame with no one left to place it on
I get it though, all that love and let it go
Can't get comfortable in a rented home
She left a note I read it slow
It hurts, but I don't let it show

If you gotta run, run like this
If you gotta front, backstroke it
If you gotta blow, if you gotta break
If you gotta make a getaway then shake a leg, escape
If you gotta ride, step on it
If you gotta take a hike, go hitch
If you gotta blow, then you should grow some nuts for your heartache and go

Won't you leave me alone
Won't you leave me alone
Don't believe in platinum memories of home
When you know
It's just chrome

Yeah I know the way out, when I came out it was beautiful
Now it's cold and grey out
But if I go I'll stay out
Til I fly far enough away to push my seat back and pull my tray out
I'm better off without you
Tossed around, lost and found you
Wanted me to love but I'm not about to
I've forgotten how to

If you gotta run, run like this
If you gotta front, backstroke it
If you gotta blow, if you gotta break
If you gotta make a getaway then shake a leg, escape
If you gotta ride, step on it
If you gotta take a hike, go hitch
If you gotta blow, then you should grow some nuts for your heartache and go

Take both of your chromosomes, bag up your testosterone
And climb your ass off my throne, throne, throne, throne
Just go, you always move snail pace slow
Get going before we're old
I want the chill out my bones, bones, bones

Won't you leave me alone
Won't you leave me alone
Don't believe in platinum memories of home
When you know
It's just chrome
