lyrics

CUT AND DRIED
Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa

Can you read my mind?
If you could, you’d know
I’m just killin’ time

It’s pretty cut and dried
Some kind of war
But I’m not afraid to fight

And I think it’s time to go
I don’t want to say goodbye
But I know it’s out of my control
And what happens next
Is cut and dried

The news wasn’t good today
It is what it is
But is shouldn’t be this way

It’s pretty cut and dried
So much to talk about
But nothing left to say

And I know now it’s time to go
I just gotta make it right
Cause I can’t remember who I am
Or what happens next
It’s cut and dried

I’ll wait for you
I won’t leave you behind
Silent dreams in black and white
When we were on the same side

The clock’s tick ticking
And I can’t take it back
We might be running out of time

So sad but true
It’s pretty cut, cut, cut and dried

My thoughts are dark at night
Watch your back
Because your best friend’s got a knife

It’s pretty cut and dried
Justice is blinded
When they come from either side

And I know it’s time to go
There’s nowhere left to hide
For we each are held responsible
For what happens next
It’s cut and dried

I’ll wait for you
I won’t leave you behind
Silent dreams in black and white
When we were on the same side

The clock’s tick ticking
And I can’t take it back
We might be running out of time

So sad but true
It’s pretty cut, cut, cut and dried
