White Lies
Dreams of passion filled within my mind
Screams of Satanic laughter in my soul
We lost touch long ago
You lost weight I did not know
You could look so fine after all this time
Remember those days hanging out at the village pier
I shed a single tear to help numb the inner pain
Not having you in my arms was driving me insane
Days with fun with Pop rocks & bottle tops
Sneakers in the high school gym
It used to mean something to hold open the car door for your lover
A great sense of respect has taken a back seat for temporal lust
In a fast paced world in quite a bit of rush
The white lies that you told have taken root & grown
We used to make out in the back seat of my car
Danced until our hearts content down at our neighborhood bar
White lies of crazy money coming in
Now its best to hold our breath & take it all in
Yet we have come this close not to turn back now
Why turn back when your hands on the plow
Cause sugar is sweet so sweet like honey
Now its up to me to take home the money
Just holding our own after all these years
Cheap beers & the tears flowing down from our faces
Have to settle for a pair of Goodwill sneakers with those funny laces
Life is a trip so try to take it all in
Learn from your mistakes a good way to begin
Gave my heart to Jesus had to forfeit my sin
We are but mice stuck in a cage
looking for escape thinking we got it made
Be brave & hold your head up to the sky
Follow the golden rule so read your books & stay in school
But you say that's not to cool
White lies come & then they go
White lies come & then they go
Get the beats straight & increase the tempo
