Lyrics

You're looking in on my life and I don't think I like you around here

You are observing my life, and I am uncomfortable with your presence.

You're looking right at my wife like she's part of the dinner we're serving you

You are staring at my wife as if she's an object to be consumed, like part of a meal we're serving you.


You told me yourself over beers how you felt when you let her go

You confessed during a conversation that you regret letting her go.

When the coice was between a family and the way things were

When faced with a choice between family and the status quo, you opted for the latter.

But nothing remains the same once decisions like that are made

Decisions like that bring irreversible changes to life.


You're treating both of my kids like a prize that was taken away from you

You treat my children as if they were prizes taken from you.


You roll into town

You arrive in town, relying on your musical talent and doing what you please.

Live off your sound and do what you need

Your existence revolves around your music.

You live for the chase

You thrive on the excitement of the chase.

Just getting a taste of whatever you please

Indulging in whatever pleasures you desire without commitment.

Then you stay at my place and realize the choices you made were mistakes

You stay at my place and realize the consequences of your past decisions.


So look one more time at my love and you'll find that it's here to stay

Take another look at my love, and you'll see it's enduring.

Your stupid lines and the thoughts just behind are not working today

Your attempts with clichéd lines and underlying thoughts are ineffective today.

Get back on that bus

Return to your touring lifestyle.

You'll forget about us in a week or a lay

You'll soon forget about us, either in a week or with another encounter.


You're looking in on my life and I don't think I like you around here

You are intruding into my life again, and I dislike your presence.
