Steer Me Wrong

I thought I told you 
We could take this slow
I should have told you 
I've been down this road 

You see, I've lived on both sides 
Hotels and cheap dives
Rich girls and housewives
I've lived on both sides 
I've hitched some long rides 
Train tracks and phone lines 
I've seen it both sides 
I've seen it both sides 

No our time ain't long
And when you're here, it's like you're not 
But don't 
Don't you dare 
Steer me wrong 

I should have seen it 
Pulling us apart 
Knew you had doubts 
But I was blinded by the heart 

You see, I've lived on both sides 
Stand ups and one nights 
Nightcaps to sunrise 
I've lived on both sides 
I've hitched some long rides 
Train tracks and phone lines 
I've seen it both sides 
I've seen it both sides 

No our time ain't long
And when you're here, it's like you're not 
But don't 
Don't you dare 
Steer me wrong 

I should have known it 
When you held on to your ring
You weren't ready
To promise anything 

You see, I've lived on both sides 
Nowhere and street lights 
High tide and low tide 
I've lived on both sides 
I've hitched some long rides 
Train tracks and phone lines 
I've seen it both sides 
I've seen it both sides 

No our time ain't long
And when you're here, it's like you're not 
But don't 
Don't you dare 
Steer me wrong
