Rubbernecking – Tori Sparks © 2008

We joyrided rubbernecking
At all our friends’ accidents
What did we think what were we expecting
That we could keep our own heads from getting wet

Now I’m soaked right through
I shouldn’t have to crawl to you
Like an animal but these days
That’s just what I do

That’s just what I do
That’s just what I do

So we go our own ways
Each suffering the side effects
Too little too late too much not enough
And you can keep everything that I left

The last time I saw you your face
Was as hard as frozen ground
Is that what love does to you
Or is that just when I am around

When I am around
When I am around

So leave me alone I can mend on my own
And you mend in the warmth of her skin
There’s no blame to lay we laid it out time
And time and time and time again

Guilty of the crime when I said it at the time
I meant against something greater
It’s not that I hate her for loving you
I sympathize

I sympathize
I sympathize

We joyrided rubbernecking
At all our friends’ accidents
What did we think what were we expecting
That we could keep our own heads from getting wet

We couldn’t keep our own heads
From getting wet
