[Verse 1]

I used to live 'round here

I was the boy with the flash clothes

She was the girl with the acid stare

I saw her at the place

You know she knows you know

How she shakes

When she jacks her body

To the sounds of Oran Juice Jones

And Jocelyn Brown, oh


[Chorus]

Spread your wings

Before they fall apart

Home is where the hurt is, darlin'

Follow your heart


[Verse 2]

So she walks into this dead end bar

Sticks her handbag on the chair

So she walks into this dead end bar

Puts her handbag on the chair

And she weighs the words we shared

When we were 15 and still cared

Cause she feels I'm the scar from the wound that time can't heal


[Bridge]

And I said

Don't let your dreams out of your head

Stick it to the man instead

Don't fool your heart

Lying about the feelings that you had back then

(They think they know us but they won't ever know)

Did you try to change your life

(They think they know us but they won't ever know)

Did you ever try to change your life

(They think they know us but they won't ever know)

You repeat and repeat and repeat

(They think they know us but they won't ever know)

Now what's up with that


[Verse 3]

Now she loves somebody else

In flash clothes

She was the girl with the acid stare

And now she paid to have one of those

And she weighs the word she says

And she knows you exist

Now she feels I'm the scar from the wound that time can't heal, oh


[Chorus]

Spread your wings

Before they fall apart

Home is where the hurt is, darlin'

Follow your heart

Spread your wings

Before they fall apart

Home is where the hurt is, darlin'

Follow your heart

Heart, heart
