Short Hills Rd - Skrizzly Adams Lyrics

"Short Hills Rd" lyrics Skrizzly Adams Lyrics "Short Hills Rd"

Swore I couldn't live another day like that
Desperation makes us do things
Where we let go of the past to find new pains
A woman asked, can we guess your name
And you don't know what you'd be losing
If you don't go take a chance on young Annie Mae

So red flags flew on short hills rd
Moved my life in, to just let go
Of the stones I broke when I was alone
But I learned you never lose em anyway

Cause desperation does, what willing won't
Takes you a little further down the road
To make you do
The things you don't
Wanna have to battle on your own
And it ain't right, it takes a toll
Makes you a little stronger as you go
Cause, desperation does, what willing won't

Started getting rough after three damn months
But that's enough to see some healing
I felt at home amongst the storm she kept at bay
And after 6 more she swore she'd had enough
I finally learned what'd I'd be losing
When I went and lost my chance with Annie Mae

So red flags flew on short hills rd
I just hung around, I didn't wanna go
And we both knew we'd hate to be alone
We were just counting down the days till

Desperation does, what willing won't
Takes you a little further down the road
To make you do
The things you don't
Wanna have to battle on your own
It ain't right, it takes a toll
Makes you a little stronger as you go
Cause, desperation does, what willing won't

When she moved on my heart quickly restless
Fading hopes that the lifeline would last
A faded mind made me start to act reckless
And I wish I could take it all back
And it kills me to think that I worshiped
A mirror that was destined to crack
And I just can't stop thinking about her
How she set me then knocked me off track when

When red flags flew on short hills rd
Haven't been back, but I can't let go
Of the time she stole, now that I'm alone
But we both know it's better off that way cause

Desperation does, what willing won't
Takes you a little further down the road
To make you do
The things you don't
Wanna have to battle on your own
It ain't right, it takes a toll
Makes you a little stronger as you go
Cause, desperation does, what willing won't
Desperation does, what willing won't

Swear I can't live another day like this
Desperation made me do things
So I wrote a song about the past to just let go
