lyrics

You needed a ride
I'm going all night 
and not stopping now

You can roll down the window

to feel the cool air rushing by

We don't have to talk,

filling up space with the radio

I can see in your eyes

that lapses in judgment

are keeping you from exiting clean

Wrap your arms around light

til you smother it

Til you think of the right words to say

to explain why you gave up
Honey, I’m not here to tell you

just how you should be living

And it’s hard to purge dreams

when they won’t let you breathe

I did the same things

and I came out alive, but in pieces

I recognize just how obscene it can be

Drilling down 

til the hole’s big enough in your hourglass

for the sand to slip out unrestrained;

til you’re haunted by nothing
Fifty odd kinks in your plan

make me feel like you’re winging this

and you don’t make sense

half the time when you speak

You can just sleep if you want,

there’s no light in this desert

And you get used to darkness

much more than you’d think


When you try

to wrap your arms around light

til you smother it

Til you think of the right words to say

to explain why you gave up

and drove all the way to L.A.
