The Dregs Lyrics

 

Renegade

Tell me the truth: when you look in my eyes

Do you see your children?

Do you see more goodbyes?

Buy me a drink. Start with your hand on my knee

Can you make me forget like I’m Persephone?

The world falls apart a few times a day

It don’t matter if you’re ready

And it don’t matter if you pray

Because the pieces will get knocked down

Some dried-up, forgotten, old well

Where nobody is ever gonna find them

Nobody in heaven. Nobody in hell.

When I last checked I still had to persuade you

To come on home like I was some kind of crusader

When I last checked you were still trying to evade me

Like I was right, but you were some kind of renegade

Let me tell you what I would give if I could just go back

I’d kick this to the curb of somebody else’s past

I’d give up all your answers. I’d give up all my pain

I’d give up and I’d storm out a hurricane

When I last checked I still had to persuade you

To come on home like I was some kind of crusader

When I last checked you were still trying to evade me

Like I was right, but you were some kind of renegade

We have had a pretty good year

But it just doesn’t show

When I last checked I still had to persuade you

To come on home like I was some kind of crusader

When I last checked you were still trying to evade me

Like I was right, but you were some kind of renegade

You are some kind of renegade

You are my kind of renegade
