Adeline (You’re Outta Line)

You hear the whistle and holler
Keeping you up at night
And your heart tends to follow
The closest thing to a fight
But you put your faith in the world now
As it slowly lets you down
You do your work in shadows
Throwing plastic on the ground

Oh, Adeline
You're out of line
You're Adeline
Dear Adeline

And winter's here in the breeze, babe
You remember what you'd say
You say that sunlight through dead trees
Reminds you of autumn days
But you're blowing smoke by the freeway
Your skin as dry as your laugh
And you know your number and your days
Getting closer to your last

Oh, Adeline
You're out of line
You're Adeline
Dear Adeline

Oh, oh, oh
Adeline, Adeline
And don't be held back by what you fear, love
You're holding out on forever 'cause tomorrow's enough
Blinded by the dark, why can't you see the light?
Oh, see the light
And don't be held back by what you fear, love
You're holding out on forever 'cause tomorrow's enough
Blinded by the dark, why can't you see the light?
Oh, see the light

Oh, Adeline
You're out of line
Oh, no, Adeline
You're out of line
Oh, no, Adeline
Oh, Adeline
Oh, no, Adeline
Dear Adeline

Skipping cracks on the pavement
Your first smile of the day
But when your hands get to shaking
Well, your smile fades away
