Off the Rails

Doctor says, take those pills You'll be alright, I know that you will Nothin wrong with dulling the edges of a too sharp knife You'll be just fine So I choke em' down, and I lose my head The sweet decline to the softened step I turned my back, but I heard what they said They said, you sweet, sweet girl Go back to bed Maybe I’m off the rails Somewhere between here and Montreal I lost my grip, I lost sight of it all I slowed myself from a sprint to a crawl And now my back is pinned against the wall He talked me down, he told me I was good He loved me still, like I knew that he would In the shadows where I once stood I see light and lines, and weathered wood Maybe I’m off the rails Oh I can be as sweet as you need me to be But don’t put me behind the wheel Because I’m going to steer us right off the rails Doctor says take those pills, You’ll be alright, I know that you will. Nothing wrong with dulling the edges of a too-sharp mind, You’ll be just fine
