Sideways Lyrics by Travis Meadows

First Cigarette

2017

[Verse 1]
If I could buy myself a conscience that wasn't broken
Mend every fence I drove my hard head through
Re-lock all the doors I wish I never opened
Unlearn the things I wish I never knew

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And it came out through the bottle
It came out through my fists
It came out way too early
I wish it never did

[Chorus]
Push it down, it comes out sideways
Push it down, it comes out sideways
Bitter roads turn into highways
Push it down it comes out sideways

[Verse 2]
I have days when it's just nose above water
Keep it together while I fall apart
I have moments when I act just like my father
The only man who ever broke my heart

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And it comes out in my silence
Sometimes unwanted tears
Comes out disguised as anger
But it's really fear

[Chorus]
Push it down, it comes out sideways
Push it down, it comes out sideways
Bitter roads turn into highways
Push it down, it comes out sideways
Sideways

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
Push it down, it comes back up
Push it down, it comes back up
Push it down, it comes back up
Push it down, it comes back up

[Chorus]
Push it down, it comes out sideways
Push it down, it comes out sideways
Bitter roads turn into highways
Push it down, it comes out sideways
Sideways, yeah
