Cut Down Sideways Lyrics by Fair

The Best Worst-Case Scenario

2006

[Verse 1]
You were light and I was death
You were light and I was death
Desperately creeping along
Tell a lie and break my neck
But the damage is all in your head
You were light and I was death

[Pre-Chorus]
Locked on a target and I'm moving along
There's a feeling I get when I'm headstrong

[Chorus]
Oh, my love, don't push it like the way we used to do
Even if you get far, don't go far without me
I'll never make it
Oh, my love, don't run, there's a feeling that you'll lose
Even if you get far, don't go far

[Verse 2]
Caught between and hedging bets
There's a knot inside your chest
But the damage is all in your head
Tell a lie and break my neck

[Pre-Chorus]
Locked on a target and I'm moving along
There's a feeling I get when I'm headstrong

[Chorus]
Oh, my love, don't push it like the way we used to do
Even if you get far, don't go far without me
I'll never make it
Oh, my love, don't run, there's a feeling that you'll lose
Even if you get far, don't go far

[Bridge]
By the time a second's through
Help yourself along
Cut down sideways

[Chorus]
Oh, my love, don't push it like the way we used to do
Even if you get far, don't go far without me
I'll never make it
Oh, my love, one pull and I could split the world in two
Even if you get far, don't go far
Far without me, I'll never make it
