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
