Crossfire

I got the world against my skin
Doing time for the crimes that I never did
I live with it
I’ll miss the streets when we were kids
When the birds on the light covered everything
No sundering
I put my keys in the cupboard
I never went back, we grew up too fast
Now I’m here, but I don’t know how
They found me out
They shut me down
Caught in the crossfire
And now, it’s swim or drown
I’m sinking down
Caught in the crossfire
All the hours turned to days
And the months turned to years that we threw away
(Threw, threw away, threw, threw away)
I’m not the sinner or the saint
I’m not the robber or the bank
Tell me the way
I put my keys in the cupboard
I never went back, we grew up too fast
Now I’m here, but I don’t know how
They found me out
They shut me down
Caught in the crossfire
And now, it’s swim or drown
I’m sinking down
Caught in the crossfire
These prayers, wasted on electric saviors
Asking but they do no favors
Caught in the crossfire
(Caught in the crossfire, caught in the crossfire)
These prayers, wasted on electric saviors
Asking but they do no favors
Caught in the crossfire
(Caught in the crossfire, caught in the crossfire)
Now I’m here, but I don’t know how
They found me out
They shut me down
Caught in the crossfire
And now, it’s swim or drown
I’m sinking down
Caught in the crossfire
Now I’m here, but I don’t know how
(Tough love, no help from anyone)
They found me out
(Tough love, no help from anyone)
They shut me down
(I need someone, anyone)
(Caught in the crossfire, caught in the crossfire)
Oh, and now, it’s swim or drown
(Tough love, no help from anyone)
I’m sinking down
(Tough love, no help from anyone)
(I need someone, anyone)
(Caught in the crossfire, caught in the crossfire)
Oh, anyone
Tough love, no help from anyone
Tough love, no help from anyone
I need someone, anyone
Caught in the crossfire, caught in the crossfire
Oh, tough love, no help from anyone
Tough love, no help from anyone
I need someone, anyone
