Delinquency

One by one
She say "This is losing all its fun"
Two by two
She say "What else do I have to do?"
Three by three
He say "Too bad you ain't ever gonna leave"
Four by four
She'll never understand attachments are always sore.

Five by five
She say "I miss feeling alive"
Six by six
She say "I fall for his tricks"
Seven by Seven
He say "You won't be forgiven"
Eight by Eight
She'll never understand how long she'll wait.

Dreaming of shows with a place to call home
Insecurity kills her sleep, he drifts in too deep.
"No way she'll keep, you'll always console her, she'll always weep."
He laughs, smiles, knowing he continues to roam.

Nine by nine
She say "I go back everyday cuz everything is always fine."
Ten by ten
She'll never understand what her life would have been.
