Headlights

(album: Albatross - 2006)

A summer's drive away from dying:
A broken heart nothing to lose
I know it hurts so bad just trying
To please the ones you hate to love
And I wrote this note about someone I used to know
So I'd remember how life can be so short
When you left alone to wonder
How it is someone opens and shuts the door

And I know you're cold but come home
It's a shame how short we all have come

You set your mind on cruise control
Knuckles grip the wheel in fear to let it go
Love is empty, love is cruel
Love it blindly breaks the rules
How could you have been a fool?
It's something all of us go through
You choke back tears and swallow lies
But those wiper blades won't fix your eyes
Count on having clouded vision
For at least a little while

And I know you're cold but come home
It's a shame how short we all have come
And I know you're cold but come home
Please don't face the headlights of the oncoming cars alone

We won't forget the past
We won't forget the past
And I know you're cold

Say all the answers and I will let you go
I won't look back and I won't look back
Say all the answers and I will let you go
I will let you go, and I will let you go

Say all the answers and I will let you go
I won't look back, and I won't look back
Say all the answers and I will let you go
I will let you go, and I will let you go

Say all the answers and I will let you go
I won't look back, and I won't look back
(Please don't face the headlights of the oncoming cars alone)
Say all the answers and I will let you go
I will let you go, and I will let you go
