lyrics

Back To You​

I've been driving away from you for days
Didn't stop until I hit this red light
Only gonna close my eyes until the light turns green
More than long enough to dream a new life

The sun is high in the sky
The snow is melting into clean cool water
All the birds in the trees
Are singing songs about your laughter
And then the light turns green--

The car pulls itself to the side of the road
I have no choice but to follow
The moon watches as I kill the lights
And chases me into what's waiting

I run for cover when the clouds shut the moon's eye
And all the stars fade into ghosts
They mislead me with all their suggestions
And their truth only leaves me cold
And so I run--

I've been running back to you for days
I'd chase the sun if only it would show its face
I lose my way every time I hear your voice
The shadows from the trees creep silently towards me

10-2008
