|
Riding through nostalgia, shaking memories by the mile |
|
The city lights are closing in on him |
|
The distance grows shorter for a while |
|
He wonders what dreams fill her heart |
|
And wonders if what they had could ever be sparked |
|
'the roads never lead where they're supposed to go' |
|
That's what he tells himself before he lets it go |
|
Out on the cold grey plain, sunken on the side of the road |
|
The words bleed off the page, the letter becomes well-soaked |
|
'no more turning backwards,' he says, as he drives off in the rain |
|
Ventures on up through the colorades and settles under the rock |
|
And pines, and stakes claim |
|
Still he wonders what what dreams fill her heart |
|
And wonders if what they had could ever be sparked |
|
The roads never lead where they're supposed to go |
|
They just twist 'round and 'round the flame |
|
The eyes closing, the heart retains |
|
A bit of a spark before it fades away |
|
That's where he gets lost and drifts off alone |
|
And what he tells himself... 'better let it go' |
