Going Away to Prison Lyrics by Sweet Avenue

The Difference Between...

2019

My eyes feel heavy
I can't see through the frosted windshield
I've had too many
But the light is short and familiar
Watch the sunrise
With ice-cold steel around my wrists
It's a harsh but subtle kiss
When you laid me
Down on the hard-wood bench
I've paid this all over and over again
And I called from the payphone
Lighting flashes on the curve
I haven't said a word
In the backseat of the car
You drive right past my house
Watch the sunrise
With ice-cold steel around my wrists
It's a harsh but subtle kiss
When you laid me
Down on the hard-wood bench
I've paid this all over and over again
And I called from the payphone
It's been such a hard year
It won't ever change
My heart isn't cold, no
It's not what it seems
It's been such a hard year
It won't ever change
My heart isn't cold, no
It's not what it seems
Watch the sunrise
With ice-cold steel around my wrists
It's a harsh but subtle kiss
When you laid me
Down on the hard-wood bench
I've paid this all over and over again
And I called from the payphone
To say "I'm sorry"
It's been such a hard year
It won't ever change
My heart isn't cold, no
It's not what it seems
