Lyrics to Hurt Locker
Closer upon your lips, lyin' to me
Sayin’ I'm with you, wherever you'll be
A jumpcut to the bed we used to share
Before you had the baby and I cut off my hair

What’s a life without the consequences?
What's a knife without the sharpened edges?

Did I cut the wrong wire today?
Did I set it on fire? The way
Scotland burned in '44
Like I never learned to leave a war
I just keep comin' back for more
For more

A wide shot of the aisle of a grocery store
Panned down to the crooked wheel on the dirty white floor
Maybe all I'll ever be is a cameo here
A face a crowd might recognize, it comes on twice a year
And then I disappear

Did I cut the wrong wire (Wire) today?
Did I set it on fire? (Fire) The way
Scotland burned in '44
Like I never learned to leave a war
I just keep comin' back for more

Can we take a walk before you walk away?
Can we try to talk, or will you call it fake?
Can we take a walk before you walk away?
Walk away

What's a life without the consequences?
What’s a knife without the sharpened edges?

Did I cut the wrong wire today?
Did I set it on fire? The way
Scotland burned in ’44
Like I never learned to leave a war
I just keep comin' back for more
For more
