Lyrics by Dan Zlotnick

 

I’m watching the road, her eyes ride the guard rail

Our lips zipped like the luggage in the back
If I let her win, then I’ll have to admit
That I was wrong, and I’ve never done that

​

I used to be so fun and free

Until my lover took from me

My will and my ability
To trust that I am enough

​

Well I did it again I took one drop of rain
And turned it into this storm on our tail
But if I let him win, maybe he’ll leave for good

So silence, my weapon, my veil

​

I used to be so fun and free

Until my lover took from me

My will and my ability
To trust that I am enough

​

Trying to love with a never-healed heart
Is like lacing your shoes without the little plastic part

The harder you push, the more it all falls apart
Until you’re left with the threads in a mess

​

And trying to love with a never healed heart
Is like a ride to the airport with no gas in the car

Our tickets say paradise but it feels so damn far

When you’re stuck on the side of the highway
