lyrics

Disillusioned standing in the driveway
Can't hear the goodbyes
Friends parting ways
Blinking headlights
Turning off the road
Tonight I think I'll take the long way home
The highway wind blows through my hair to the beat
Of something playing in a minor key
Missed opportunities
Plans gone off astray
Damn I wish I would have said it that way

What is it about the night
that makes us think about the things we've lost?
Good times only seem drawn to the day
Re-writes come at a higher cost

Times where we might have had too much pride
Its all so clear on this late night drive
The things we think and the things we say
Separate us from what was and come what may
Dealing with goodbyes that came too soon
I'll drive and drive
Me and my thoughts and the moon

In winter you don't care
if the snow falls on your face
in summer all your clothes
could become damp with rain
Reflection isn't just the other side of the mirror
Its connections made and spayed
Second guesses
Frantic retractions
But its too late
