Run so far t

You always s

To the arms

Because noth
ing ever chang
es around
You tried so
hard to get b
y
And do the t
hings that you
like
And the only
thing that's
lost out here
is you
Memories pla

e doubt
She's on her
knees to help
him out
Cause nothin
g ever changes
around

Song 6: Bite Down Salvador
No Capo
[Verse 1]
Let me get my
zipper up and
my boots on
No one will kn
ow what's gone
on
Except the con
scious eyes
That followed
you around the
room all nigh
t
If only she co
uld've bitten
her tongue
[Chorus]
Half the time
she's honest w
ith lies
Because the tr
uth's too hard
to believe
[Verse 2]
So you let her
go now, you l
et her go
She's holding
your arm as sh
e greets all y
our friends
The lights com
e back on
And the dreade
d walk home in
the rain
You'll never h
ijack these ey
es again

Half the time
she's honest w
ith lies
Because the tr
uth's too hard
to believe
[Instrumental]
