Lovers

From a Highway Lyrics



the highway is a sorry scene. i'm freezing in the

passenger seat. i didn't want to leave so i just kept on

drinking. at first we were nervous, but you say all the

words that change the way my world turns, then it's bye

bye, baby, bye bye bye. parked now in a motel lot, i'm

staring through the window fog at some new day that i

don't want when i could be waking to your dawn. but i'll

go back to Boston, a silent apartment, but for sirens,

alarms, and little sad songs. your fucked up family

history makes me wish i was a transparency, i'd move

about your life unseen and make sure you were treated

right. cause your eyes flash with kerosene, and your lips

are horses running. oh let me be the ground beneath, when

we kiss you can run away on me. cause my heart's been

humming, and reaching for something to keep it running

when the drives are so long. and you brought boxes, you

brought crates of feelings i'll have to orchestrate, but

i'll make room and find a pace, even if you never meant

to stay. cause there's space here where i sing, out in

the junkyard of emotion, where i pour myself over

everything, i'll pour myself over your bare skin like

boiling water, this orphan-eyed daughter, this cannon-

fodder, come on.
