lyrics

KEEP DRIVING

Wrapped in your appendages,
since you said 'yes' you've never been so fair.
Breathing little ghosts on the window.
Dream now by the driver's side
and let the engines lullabye you there.
Dashboard LED's a night-lights glow.
Where we head, I cannot say.
Sometimes it's more about leaving than going.
I'll be better, I'll be sweet.
I'll be the image you've carried so closely.
Just keep driving....
Break the seal of sleepy eyes
with slender beams through windshield skies at dawn.
Wake to watch the border lines go by.
And talk of times that we played house
or revolution from the local mall.
I'll keep our life between the lines.
When you plunged in winter's curse
I planned my day by the corners of your mouth.
But I'll be better, I'll be sweet.
I'll be the picture perfect seed among thorns.
And with these little lies we'll lubricate our souls
to slip through gated walls.
You've been so strong for oh so very long.
It's only but a moment more till you'll lay your head down.
And miles to go before I sleep.
You and me, we keep driving.
If you ever go a tumbling down that hill and break apart again.
Know I'll come a tumbling after, straight away, with Elmer's Glue in hand.
