Bullet Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
I fell in love in the back seat of your car
The road was shorter than it looked
Like ten years and two more
And I held the girl closer than was safe
Take what you want from me

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not afraid to turn around
To see you by my side
Hey, I felt pretty when they turned out the light
I didn't know just what was goin' on
When all my guts were tellin' me to run
I stuck around when I should have been
There with you
And after all that we lost
I swear I'll never let go

[Chorus]
You and I both are nothing but thieves
We take what we want when we need
I had a chance for a better life
But all that I've known is to
Run, run, run, from the devil in disguise
Like a bullet, a bullet, a bullet into the night
We are the last generation of hope
And I wouldn't mind if
Together we died alone
[Verse 2]
Hey, I was 21 when I lost control
I took my hands off the wheel
Wheel it spun on its own
And I lost so much of what I loved
Take what you want from me

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not afraid to turn around
To see you by my side
Hey, I felt pretty when they turned out the light
I didn't know just what was goin' on
When all my guts were tellin' me to run
I stuck around when I should have been
There with you
And after all that we lost
I swear I'll never let go

[Chorus]
You and I both are nothing but thieves
We take what we want when we need
I had a chance for a better life
But all that I've known is to
Run, run, run, from the devil in disguise
Like a bullet, a bullet, a bullet into the night
We are the last generation of hope
And I wouldn't mind if
Together we died alone

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You and I both are nothing but thieves
We take what we want when we need
I had a chance for a better life
But all that I've known is to
Run, run, run, from the devil in disguise
Like a bullet, a bullet, a bullet into the night
We are the last generation of hope
And I wouldn't mind if
Together we died alone
I said, As long as you're here then
Together I can die alone
