Was it a dream? Is this the only evidence that proves it A photograph of you and I? A photograph of you and I Your defenses were on high Your walls built deep inside Yeah, I'm a selfish bastard But at least I'm not alone My intentions never change

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no All around in my home town They're trying to track me down They say they want to bring me

In you I'm lost It's like a weapon Against the present Of self defense Self defense Present tense I won't get heavy Don't get heavy
