The future is a blank page
Like a landscape with no clouds
We don't know what could happen
So we're terrified and loud
And he's been dragging you through ditches
Tryna figure out what's up
But I think you've waited long enough

Put em up
Put em up
Oh what do you think you're doing
I know I don't look tough
I'm so small and unassuming
If you mess her up
I think your face could be broken
Honey if I were you
Oh I would sleep with one eye open

Another day, another silence
You don't ask for much
And you get nothing back
Oh it's impossible to watch
You try to move on, he bites back
You don't get very far
But he's not irreplaceable just because he plays guitar

Put em up
Put em up
Oh what do you think you're doing
I know I don't look tough
I'm so small and unassuming
If you mess her up
I think your face could be broken
Honey if I were you
Oh I would sleep with one eye open

I'm no detective
But I'm loyal and reckless
And I'm overprotective
Like a mother
And maybe he loves you
But he never shows you
And God I just hope that he doesn't wake up
In the gutter

Put em up
Put em up
Oh
I know I don't look tough
No
If you mess her up
I think your face could be broken
Honey if I were you
Oh I would sleep with one eye open
You mess her up
I think your face could be broken
Honey if I were you
Oh I would sleep with one eye open
Don't say I didn't warn ya
Sleep with one eye open
