red eyes scoping out the back of the car
as you lay on the hood, as you feel the fall
you don't know much, you better watch your back, kid
you got a long time comin' just a little too late
so you block off the doors and feign asphyxiate
but you know, we're all on to that game
as you tear and tear and tear... at your skin
black-eye backdrop, a picture perfect scene
too many feelings, half forgotten memories
that still sting like the day we made them
but your boyfriend brought you here so he should take you home
if you have any problems, love, just let me know
i'm a sucker, you know i'd take you anywhere
we could drive and drive and drive... all damn night
if we make it past the state line... we'll be alright
and your eyes get heavy as you watch the scene
of 300 miles unfolding all around me
and you think we could drive forever
but the gas tank sputters as it pulls to a stop
and i cant remember what we were fighting about
but you know you were always right
and you could never ever ever... be wrong
and i could never ever ever... be wrong
and we could never ever ever... do no wrong.
yeah right.
