Play You Down

(album: Watching Time Run - 2011)

I should be out there having my fun
Drinking beers with the boys and watching time run
I should be listening to what I said
When I said stay away from who you can't forget

Now you come pushing my heart around
All you had to do was be
And I can't play you down
But I won't pull the trigger
If I said how I felt
It would be something bigger
So fast I'd be face first flat on the ground
It's a losing game trying to play you down

I should be thinking 'bout other stuff
Maybe read a book on how to run from love
Cause it dragged me down by the heels
Had me busted up for years and years

Now you come pushing my heart around
All you had to do was be
And I can't play you down
But I won't pull the trigger
If I said how I felt
It would be something bigger
So fast I'd be face first flat on the ground
It's a losing game trying to play you down
It's a losing game trying to play you down

I don't want to tell you
What you already know
Everybody's talking, everybody's talking
I need some more time just to be alone

But I can't play you down
But I won't pull the trigger
If I said how I felt
It would be something bigger
So fast I'd be face first flat on the ground
It's a losing game trying to play you down
It's a losing game trying to play you down
It's a losing game trying to play you down

I think everybody knows it
I think everybody knows
