lyrics

She doesn't know where she's been
Even though she swore to stay dry this time
Something's really gotta give
When she's out of hand, out of reach all night

She knows he looks like trouble
Smiling with his eyes, laying aces on the table
With his hat pulled low
Talking slow and sweet

Well she doesn't know where he's been
But she bets he's seen it all somehow
And something's really gotta give
So he takes her hand and leads her outta town

She knows love gets messy
She's heard it all before, and she'll hear it all again
Unless he gives her a reason
And gets her believing in him.

Every time the game plays out that way

[chorus]
She's out with the moon, driving round
Leaving skid marks in the fray
Gone all night but she goes down by the river
And she prays
That this time is different
Oh, but it isn't
She's a cold, love-starved heartbreak mistake
Begging for some more

She never had far to go
With eyes that bright she never sleeps alone
Doesn't know what it's like to call a place her home
To call someone her own

It's hard, living this empty
Filling up space and leaving when it gets heavy
But it's all she's got
And all she's ever known

So she's gonna have a bit of fun
She reaches up and pulls that bottle down
Little fire on her tongue and she is out the door
Ready to be found

They say life's a party
She figures they're right, so she's ready to get started
Walks inside
Feels all eyes on her

And every time the game plays out that way

[chorus]
She's out with the moon, driving round
Leaving skid marks in the fray
Gone all night but she goes down by the river
And she prays
That this time is different
Oh, but it isn't
She's a cold, love-starved heartbreak mistake
Begging for some more

She looks into the mirror and sees ghosts behind her eyes
She's never all alone
But she's still lonely late at night

Every morning everything is still the same
And every time the game plays out that way

[chorus]
She's out with the moon, driving round
Leaving skid marks in the fray
Gone all night but she goes down by the river
And she prays
That this time is different
Oh, but it isn't
She's a cold, love-starved heartbreak mistake
Begging for some more
