21 Grams Short

you went out for a drive
like the other day
a ride to lease a light
and shine on every wave
a killer on the road
took you by the hand
you thought he was a friend
help me to understand

I want to come clean
there's no way out
it's absurd and obscene
there's no way out

you went out for a drive
every man his way
you took off to shine
upon a newborn wave
but what was a ride
ended on this road
21 grams short
22 years young to date

how we want to come clean
there's no way out
it's absurd and obscene
there's no way out

tel me mother
how can it be?
