"Adeline (You're Outta Line)" lyrics

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

Oh, Adeline
You're outta line
You're outta line
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
You know you're numbering your days
Getting closer to your last

Oh, Adeline
You're outta line
You're outta line
Dear, Adeline

Oh oh
Oh 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 outta line
Oh no, Adeline
You're outta line
Oh no, Adeline
Oh, Adeline
Oh no, Adeline
You're outta line

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