Pocket Knife by Alkaline Trio Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2013

[Verse 1]
I've been waiting for so long for someone just like me
Stuck between right and wrong, this fucked up fantasy
I've got nothing but blood to let the wrong one in
Lost in the garden of lust, this unoriginal sin

[Chorus]
She came after me with a pocket knife
Stuck here in a dream, nightmare of my life
Nothing left to do, just sit there and scream
Wake up next to you and try to go back to sleep

[Post-Chorus]
Try to go back to sleep

[Verse 2]
I've been waiting for so long for someone just like you
Tell me your favorite song, I'll sing a different tune
I've got nothing but blood upon these hands of mine
Left you out in the sun, you hung me out to dry
[Chorus]
She came after me with a pocket knife
Stuck here in a dream, nightmare of my life
Nothing left to do, just sit there and scream
Wake up next to you and try to go back to sleep

[Bridge]
(Whoa, whoa)
Baby you've got some nerve
(Whoa, whoa)
Cold revenge has been served
(Whoa, whoa)
And I'm freezing alone
(Whoa, whoa)
For reasons unknown

[Chorus]
She came after me with a pocket knife
Stuck here in a dream, nightmare of my life
Nothing left to do, just sit there and scream
Wake up next to you and try to go back to sleep
And try to go back to sleep
And try to go back to sleep
