Verse
     Past the road to your house
     That you never called home
     Where they turned out the lights
     Though they say you'll never know

Chorus
     I remember running through the wet grass
     Falling a step a behind
     Both of us never tiring
     Desperately wanting

Verse
     When they pumped out your guts
     Filled you full of those pills
     You were never quite right
     Or deserving all the chills

Verse (heavy)
     Say the worst is over
     Kicked it over and ran
     Then they asked what went wrong
     When they turned you on again
     When they turned you on again

Chorus (heavy)
     I remember running through the wet grass
     Falling a step a behind
     Both of us never tiring
     Desperately wanting

Chorus (heavy)
     I remember running through the wet grass
     Falling a step a behind
     Both of us never tiring
     Desperately wanting

Verse
     Kick 'em right in the face
     Make them wish they weren't born
     And if they bring up your name
     Well, they'll say you won the war

Verse (heavy)
     Baby burst in the world
     Never given a chance
     Then they ask what when wrong
     When you never had it right
     No, you never had it right

Chorus (heavy)
     I remember running through the wet grass
     Falling a step a behind
     Both of us never tiring
     Desperately wanting

Chorus (heavy)
     I remember running through the wet grass
     Falling a step a behind
     Both of us never tiring
     Desperately wanting

Mini-Solo #1

Bridge
     Oooh, the letters I've dropped off
     Though they say you got them all
     I finally figured out some 
     Things you'll never know

Mini-Solo #2

Verse
     Take back your life
     Let me inside
     We'll find the door
     If you care
     If you care to anymore

Chorus (heavy)
     I remember running through the wet grass
     Falling a step a behind
     Both of us never tiring
     Desperately wanting

Chorus (heavy)
     I remember running through the wet grass
     Falling a step a behind
     Both of us never tiring
     Desperately wanting

Verse (heavy) x 4
     Oh, no
     Hey, hey
     Oh, no, no, no, no, no
     No, no, no....
