lyrics

with that look in his eye
he'll be drinking til the morning light
and she'll have to choose
between Fight or Flight
she begs me, "please just stay the night"
a week's passed since i slept at home
but with that edge in his voice
only a fool could leave her alone

her eyes drop
her voice stops

every excuse is more far-fetched
burned herself cooking? yeah i bet
so what's that shudder
each time she sees him light a cigarette
when hops-fueled lightning crashes down
he'll swear that strike came from the ground
he could blame her for silence
when he said not to make a sound

her eyes drop
her voice stops

the words aren't hers they're well rehearsed
when he's not around the secrets slip out
how she fears every sundown
he boozes up, pushes her around
til she just accepts, til she shuts down
and even as she speaks, i see it happening now
and i know i gotta get her out

with that look in her eye
she'll be waiting out the morning light
and i'll have to choose
between what's easy and what's right
i'll pull you close to my side
i will not leave you here to die
together we will escape this unending night
i believe you
