Before You Arrived Lyrics by Walking Papers

WP2

2018

Her silhouette stood black up against a shattered sky
Like it never happened, my life flash before my eyes
She says she needs me, but she won't say what for
She asks to come in as she was walking through the door
You planned your escape before you arrived
You held it all inside
You covered your tracks
You killed your headlights
You held it all inside
She said to relax baby, enjoy the ride
Shе stole from the pages of a Millеr Manuscript
For every kiss, there is a lie that won't leave her lips
You're the stray bullet baby, I'm the smoking gun
There's more than one way to get the job done
It's already
It's already begun
You planned your escape before you arrived
You held it all inside
You covered your tracks
You killed your headlights
You held it all inside
I'll leave the motor running
I won't leave you waiting
In the cold outside
You planned your escape before you arrived
You held it all inside
You held it all inside
You're the stray bullet baby
I'm the smoking gun
You planned your escape before you arrived
You held it all inside
You covered your tracks
You killed your headlights
You held it all inside
I'll leave the motor running
I won't leave you waiting
In the cold outside
You planned your escape before you arrived
You held it all inside
You held it all inside
You held it all inside
