[Intro]
I'll be back before bars close
I'll be tall before grass grows
I left there long ago
'Cause that house ain't my home
I will need the warnings you speak

[Chorus 1]
Before you go upstairs
Before you go upstairs

[Verse 1]
Four different stories in one single story there
There are things privileged
And some things so unfair
I will heed the warnings you speak

[Chorus 2]
Before we go upstairs
Before we go upstairs

[Verse 2]
Time is tryin' to kill me
But foolishness will beat him to it
I hear tales of things I shouldn't
Right before I start to do it
I'll bide my time, hide my crimes
[Chorus 3]
Before I go upstairs
Before I go upstairs

[Verse 3]
I got dirt beneath my feet
A lot of world for me to see
Trouble haunts me in my sleep
I got places I should be
One day soon, in my dark room

[Ending]
Before I go upstairs
Before you go upstairs
Oh, before we go upstairs
