lyrics

Hopped in my car and I headed for the coast
Thought the wind and water
would clear my mind
but your ghost followed me down to the tide

we were just small town kids
who dreamt of bigger things
life beyond out old backyards, but
I know now that I took things a little too far

Tired, I’m so tired, I’m so tired
of running dear
how could it have all ended up like this
you died in my arms & now I’m dying out here

17 years old & we thought we knew it all, but none’v our plans could prepare us for the pain
& I would loose so much more than I could ever gain

shots rang out and pierced the humid air
as we tried to make out get away
and then I heard you call out my name

Tired, I’m so tired, I’m so tired
of running dear
how could it have all ended up like this
you died in my arms & now I’m dying out here

we were so young, so foolish & so free
but now I’m a sinner, I’m a gambler, slave to the highways
& time can’t heal all wounds, you haunt me every day

Tired, I’m so tired, I’m so tired
of running dear
how could it have all ended up like this
you died in my arms & now I’m dying out here
