Son of a Gun

[Verse 1]
Said you were gonna quit smoking but didn't
Lipstick marks on the cigarette butt by the kitchen
In addition, I don't wanna be this way
I just wanna love my life
Not ride on a rusty bike
All cycles seem to
Follow me wherever I go
Love seems real cool until it don't
I saw myself today, saw myself in your pain
I'm not one to blame

[Pre-Chorus]
Mums got anger issues, I can feel it in my tissue
I wanna get it out
(I ain't killed anyone)
Can't be wishful, when you're the son of a loaded pistol (yeah)
Son of a gun

[Chorus]
Hold on
Hold on (ooh)
Say hold on, don't shoot (ooh)
Say hold on
Hold on (ooh)
Say hold on, stay true (ooh, ahh)

[Verse 2]
My mind don't want it, honest
There's no home for a devil like me
If I can't stop it, promise
There's no home for a devil like me
Raised me up and raised hell
There's no home for a devil like me
Only flames light themselves
There's no home for a devil like me
Didn't wanna end up caught in a system
Even though I got war in my heart, no war to resisting
Listen, wanna turn the red flags white, get that right
I can't live the rest of my life this way

[Pre-Chorus]
Mums got anger issues, I can feel it in my tissue
I wanna get it out
(I ain't killed anyone)
Can't be wishful, when you're the son of a loaded pistol (yeah)
Son of a gun

[Chorus]
Hold on
Hold on (ooh)
Say hold on, don't shoot (ooh)
Say hold on
Hold on (ooh)
Say hold on, stay true (ooh, ahh)

[Bridge]
New dog, old ways no way
Got a move on
You said back then get a move on
True say so I've got a new song
Yeah, I've changed my tune gonna prove wrong
Gotta pay my dues till' the debts gone
I can't blame my views if my heads gone
Because I know way more than I let on
(uhh, check)
The light flickers, my minds quicker, my bloods thicker
Life's put in the centre within a nice picture
Got an inner religion so I arise victor
Gonna battle my demons till' they comply with her
New set of agreements to keep my heart warm
I can't level with feelings until I'm past thought
Gotta make love form on a dark night
Alright, that way

[Outro]
I can love you in a new light
In a new light
In a new light
I can love you in a new light
In a new light
(With a new, with a new light)
(In a or with a)
(In a or with a new light)
I can love you with a new light
In a new light
I can love you with a new light
In a new light
