Every Which Way

I know you'll always be danger

But I still won't make you a stranger

You've got a black heart and snake eyes

But I won't say my goodbyes

I know the morning is coming soon

And maybe this moment is inopportune

But I want you to stay

Though you don't want me in every which way

I let you take it out on me

So all this pain she'll never see

She'd ignore you I think anyway

Though it's something you would never say

She doesn't really care that much

And I'm just someone you can trust

Cause I'd never spill our secrets to her

Or you'd be gone in such a blur

And I want you to stay

Though you don't want me in every which way

I know tonight what's on your mind

Midnight tonight is so well timed

But nothing else about us is

My lungs are pushing against my ribs

Trying to catch a tiny breath

Before my slow, impending death

I really want you to stay

But you don't want me in every which way

I know that I should run for the hills

But I guess I get a kick from thrills

I knew what you were chasing after

But I just let you get me faster

I don't know what's wrong with me

And there's so much I'll never be

I know, I know why you won't stay

Cause you don't want me in every which way
