Headlights

(Album: When The Smoke Clears - 2021)

I don't want to lose you again
We're running out of options
Idle in the driveway we sat
And tried to take precautions

A chemical imbalance
Emotional allowance
For someone that you're not

You're dying to get past it
You hit oncoming traffic
With everything you've got

Oh, how could you ever find the road
With your headlights off

It was never easy back then
I couldn't get you talking

We were on the edge of my bed
Waiting on your body

To fortify the kingdom
And trick you into thinking
You're sleeping on the job

No use in changing tactics
The mind that holds you captive
Is stronger than we thought

Oh, how could you ever find the road
With your headlights off
