lyrics

I’ve been driving this car so long
the car is now the road.
I’ve been using you body
like a map to guide me home.
I’ve been watching them lights go green
but all I see is red.
I’ve been dragging my feet to bone
my feet won’t drag me home.

The day ...
is not that long.
The chain ...
is not that strong.
The road ...
is not that long.
The night ...
is never young.

I’ve been wishing you heard the words
that I’ve been wishing I said.
I’ve been missing the way your hands
could turn my bone to sand.
I’ve been shooting for stars so long
the sky is full of holes.
I’ve been waiting for a tide to turn
and wash my body home.
