Every night will you try to be on my side
If we're not if we fight will you run and hide
So speaks her gaze
He knows it too well
She's got something to say
And it's tearing her up but the kid's in the way

Every night will you try to be on my side
If we're not if we fight will you run and hide
So speaks her gaze
I know it too well
She's got something to say
This time she says it outloud
I think

I don't mean to do what I do
That can't be me
As told by you
Maybe sometime I'll speak my mind
And sing it straight my love
And be on your side

If we're not if we fight will I run and hide
So speaks my gaze
You know it too well
I've got something to say
And it's tearing me up but the kid's in the way

Every night will you try
We will fight
We will cry
Save for the light on the front porch at night
There is nothing that shines
No one gets out alive

It comes as surprise
Worse than I feared
How can you leave
Babies and years
And though I try to speak my mind
I can't sing it straight my love
Or be on your side
