[Verse 1]
Time stamped and broken
Taken every other step in the shade
And I’d raise my voice loud
But you wouldn’t hear it anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I’m the hopeless son
Waiting on the rain to come and wash me away
Shattered by the only one
That could ever make a dead heart run, strung by lace

[Chorus]
Hung and framed, I’m so confused
When the only place left for me, it ain’t next to you
A world away, far from view
Nailed to your door, you’d still stare right through

[Post-Chorus]
My life as it passеd by
Steady as a wall when you walk by
Am I a stranger to you?
And just likе chalk on a state line
Staring straight ahead as you drive by
Am I a stranger to you?

[Verse 2]
Spun out and smoking
There’s only myself to blame
And I’m slowly loathing
There’s gotta be another way

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I’m the hopeless son
Waiting on the rain to come and wash me away
Shattered by the only one
That could ever make a dead heart run, strung by lace

[Chorus]
Hung and framed, I’m so confused
When the only place left for me, it ain’t next to you
A world away, far from view
Nailed to your door, you’d still stare right through

[Post-Chorus]
My life as it passed by
Steady as a wall when you walk by
Am I a stranger to you?
But just like chalk on a state line
Staring straight ahead as you drive by
Am I a stranger to you?

[Outro]
Darling, my life has passed by
Steady as a wall when you walk by
Am I a stranger to you?
Just like chalk on a state line
Staring straight ahead as you drive by
Am I a stranger to you?
