[Arlie - karma lyrics]
It was raining when you came in
You said, "Sorry I'm all wet"
I said, "You don't have to be sorry
I'll help you take care of that"
You lay it all out on the table
I said there's no need to make a mess
We try to study, don't get a lot done
All busy, worried 'bout that test
College hall's no place for a study date
You couldn't look yourself straight
Through the mirror
Wasn't my fault to egg you on
I couldn't wait
I shoulda known you couldn't
Hold your own liquor
It's a surefire but your daddy wouldn't pay
He finds out I'm going down undercover
You know the truth is loving
You was not a mistake
But that's a lot of bad karma
Hey, I wouldn't make a bad father
And now you're saying you're gonna leave me
It took a long time to get you there
You're still a hot mess in your white dress
I'm busy trying not to stare
Oh freedom, oh freedom
Like a heartbeat could drive you mad
The thunder outside, drowning out my visions
Of what we lost and what we had
College hall's such a cold place to be awake
You couldn't look yourself straight
Through the mirror
Wasn't my fault to egg you on
I couldn't wait
I shoulda known you couldn't
Hold your own liquor
It's a surefire but your daddy wouldn't pay
He finds out I'm going down undercover
You know the truth is loving
You was not a mistake
But that's a lot of bad karma
Hey, I wouldn't make a bad father
I'm afraid that I'm to blame
If you give up
Kassie
If I ever make it out of my head
You can have me
Maybe I could stick around, yeah
I could shape up
Settle down
But tonight I'm freaking out
'cause you won't call
Cold shoulder, pulled over on the interstate
Double take, saw a little face in the mirror
Knew we couldn't tell your mother
When I saw your plates
Heated seat
But you couldn't speak through the shivers
You zip your jacket
Try to hide your red letter A
Half mast, scattered ashes in the water
You know the truth is you could
Cut this any other way
It's just a lot of bad karma
Hey, I wouldn't make a bad father
'Cause you won't call, won't
'Cause you won't, 'cause you won't
You won't call
You said, "Sorry I'm all wet"
I said, "You don't have to be sorry
I'll help you take care of that"
You lay it all out on the table
I said there's no need to make a mess
We try to study, don't get a lot done
All busy, worried 'bout that test
College hall's no place for a study date
You couldn't look yourself straight
Through the mirror
Wasn't my fault to egg you on
I couldn't wait
I shoulda known you couldn't
Hold your own liquor
It's a surefire but your daddy wouldn't pay
He finds out I'm going down undercover
You know the truth is loving
You was not a mistake
But that's a lot of bad karma
Hey, I wouldn't make a bad father
And now you're saying you're gonna leave me
