I said I'd never let that hungry wolf come
Blow this house down
But I left myself unguarded
I said I'd never let the tempter of my heart
Come back around
But now look at what I've started

I've unlocked a box of confusion
I've lost all my reason

Clear to the left, clear to the right
Without a sound it came around
Hit me on the blind side
Look to the front, look to the back
Down for the count, I'll tell you how
Hit me on the blind side

And though I could see
The truth staring right at me
Well, I did not ready myself
For the blind side, hey, yeah, yeah

So I went walking through
The garden of temptation unaware
And I tasted what I wanted
Not looking for the subtle warnings
That might be hidden there
And I barreled through undaunted

Oh, I was soon deuced by a craving
That left me defenseless

Clear to the left, clear to the right
Without a sound it came around
Hit me on the blind side
Look to the front, look to the back
Down for the count, I'll tell you how
Hit me on the blind side

And though I could see
The truth staring right at me
Well, I did not ready myself
For the blind side

Oh, not going the whole way
A little bit here, a little more there
I was short on self denial

Clear to the left, clear to the right
Without a sound it came around
Hit me on the blind side
Look to the front, look to the back
Down for the count, I'll tell you how
Hit me on the blind side

And though I could see
The truth staring right at me
Well, I did not ready myself
For the blind side

Going down
Going down
Going down
Going down on the blind side

I'm going down
I'm going down
I'm going down on the blind side

I'm going down
I'm going down
I'm going down on the blind side

I'm going down
I'm going down
I'm going down on the blind side

I'm going down
I'm going down
I'm going down on the blind side

I'm going down
I'm going down
I'm going down on the blind side

I'm going down
I'm going down
I'm going down on the blind side
