[Verse 1]
Tonight when he hands you the keys to the car
And he says, "You can drive, some, but don't drive too far"
Tonight when she tells you you're her only one
Remember the morning brings on the sun

[Chorus]
And they're watching you stumble and fall
Until you're lost down below like them all

[Verse 2]
Today when they give you their words of advice
And tell you you're free, friend, as long as it's nice
Today when their words of sweet wisdom come down
Remember their smiles are hiding their frowns

[Chorus]
And they're watching you stumble and fall
Until you're lost down below like them all

[Verse 3]
If you say you're their friend, I'm afraid you will learn
They want only friends they can have on their terms
But the love that you show them will give you an edge
For authority is more than wearing a badge
[Chorus]
And you'll be watching them stumble and fall
Until they're lost down below like them all
Until they're lost down below like them all
