Now I'm well aware it's catching up with me
And I wouldn't care nothing's really free
Life isn't fair no matter how you plead
You don't need to swear I just do it all for me
Changing of the guard is on my mind again
Fire girls are dancing in the rain again
Everybody reaching for the pain again
I promise you I'm listening just say it again
I wish that I could tell you everything I said
But I can't even tell you what's been in my head
Look into my eyes like I'm a book you read
Maybe we should dip into the bag instead
Keep one burning on the dash before I take the rest
I can't remember where I am I know it's for the best
I keep writing 'bout myself you'd appreciate this verse
You pull one more out your purse it's a blessing and a curse
Now I'm well aware it's catching up with me
Take my pain away...
And I wouldn't care nothing's really free
Take my pain from me...
Keep one burning on the dash before I start one more
The early hours of the morning and you're at my door
I know there's 8 more weeks of summer pray for my rebirth
Cause it gets heavy down on earth so It's a blessing and a curse
Take my joy away...
Take my joy
Changing of the guard
The picture seemed so clear as I recall you in my arms
I don't know where you begin and endless ocean ends
Don't you hear the waves the coast is just around the bend
I don't have the heart to let it end
Keep one burning on the dash but please just take your time
The headlights part the misty sea 10 miles to 95
I don't think we're gonna make it but I don't say a word
Cause maybe knowing makes it worse
It's a blessing and a curse
Changing of the guard is on my mind again
Fire girls are dancing in the rain again
Everybody reaching for the pain again
I promise you I'm listening just say it again
I wish that I could tell you everything I said
But I can't even tell you what's been in my head
Look into my eyes like I'm a book you read
Maybe we should dip into the bag instead
