Must Be Seven Songtext
Dirty broken dishes, cigarette burns on the floor
She held a look of disbelief as she wandered through the door
To have a seat and meet the parents of
A child that was heading the wrong way
And it's probably seven years since she
Turned around and hit the road that day
Paper tearing off the walls, a rotten moldy sink
When he wandered to the counter just to fix himself a drink
Like there wasn't something wrong,
Like he couldn't see the sorrow in the song
And it must be seven years since he
Tipped his hat and told em' all "so long"
And she said Stay on track.
Don't let me see you lookin' back.
Never mind what's left behind and don't look back.
Don't look back
Well she was so distracted by the color of the room.
She never thought that she would see this brittle flower bloom-
And take the cards that he was dealt to build
A house the big bad wolf could not blow down.
And it must be seven years now, since they turned that life around
The house shrunk in the rearview as they left it far behind
It faded out of sight back to the shadows of her mind
Just like the shards of shattered mirrors,
Broken pieces scattered o'er the burial grounds
And it must be seven years now, since they got out of that town
She held a look of disbelief as she wandered through the door
To have a seat and meet the parents of
A child that was heading the wrong way
And it's probably seven years since she
Turned around and hit the road that day
Paper tearing off the walls, a rotten moldy sink
When he wandered to the counter just to fix himself a drink
Like there wasn't something wrong,
Like he couldn't see the sorrow in the song
And it must be seven years since he
Tipped his hat and told em' all "so long"
And she said Stay on track.
Don't let me see you lookin' back.
Never mind what's left behind and don't look back.
Don't look back
Well she was so distracted by the color of the room.
She never thought that she would see this brittle flower bloom-
And take the cards that he was dealt to build
A house the big bad wolf could not blow down.
And it must be seven years now, since they turned that life around
The house shrunk in the rearview as they left it far behind
It faded out of sight back to the shadows of her mind
Just like the shards of shattered mirrors,
Broken pieces scattered o'er the burial grounds
And it must be seven years now, since they got out of that town
