My pen to paper tells me that I’m still alive
I hear you whisper now: “Get up. Go for a drive.”
“To clear your head. It’s me who’s dead.
“Come back when we can jibe.
“I’ll be right here next to your ear.
“Come back when you can get my story right.”
I sit here at my table with wine and candle-light
The words – they flow much better – in shades of the night
You say, “Don’t you worry, you know this story
“I’ll see you through the end…
“Just listen close to your ‘made up’ ghost
“I’ll be your friend if you can get my story right.”
Now when I’m all alone, I feel him at my side
He’s got so much to say, sometimes he makes me cry
The more I hear, the less I know but, I’m learnin’ piece by piece
Time will tell if this applies to me, we’ll just have to see
If I can get his story right
We make this life our own, nobody else to blame
And if it feels like hell, well, did we fan the flames?
So while I’m here, I’ll face the fears that keep me up at night
Bartender keep fillin’ my glass up
‘Cause if I screw this up then who will get my story right?
Who will get my story right?

Is there love on your mind tonight?
Can you see it in the headlights?
Does it move slowly ‘round from the back seat?
To touch your hair and brush your neck, oh tell me—
Does it feel like me?
(CHORUS)
Can you hold love’s hand without retreat?
Riding solo, seeking solace in love’s defeat
And when you open up your door, will love warm you like before?
When you would drive home through the dark…
To get to me
I think of you way out there—are you thinking of me?
I think of those I’ve hated because they wouldn’t love me
Up in this road of bitterness, it’s easy to get caught
Obsessing ‘cause they didn’t like the truth of what I was bringing
But you heart me singing
(CHORUS)
Can you hold love’s hand without retreat?
Riding solo, seeking solace in love’s defeat
And when you open up your door, will love warm you like before?
When you would drive home through the dark…
When you would drive home through the dark…
To get to me
(REFRAIN TO END)
Do I need to leave this place? What am I missing?
If I close the miles would you open up your kissing?
Besides the dreams, besides your hand to hold without retreat
Would you still drive home through the dark…
Would you still drive home through the dark…
‘Cause I would drive home through the dark…
To get to you
I’m driving through the dark

You stand here talkin’ to me
Can you see right through me?
Or hear my thinkin,’ ‘cause my mind’s on fire
All I want is just to hold you
But I can’t—I never told you
How much I love you but, you’re not mine
It’s not supposed to hurt to be this close to you
Don’t wanna feel it but, I don’t know what to do
Can’t turn it off and I don’t know what to say
I feel so helpless – a sad cliché
(Chorus)
I’m not in love with a fantasy – I’ll tell you what is true
You belong to him but, I’ll I’ll always know, I belong with you
I smile and play along
I fake the happy songs
With you and him and all of us and them
I make myself so mad
‘Cause I don’t want to be sad
That I missed my chance way back when
We were free and we lay in the sun
We bared our souls - we were one
I kept it all inside, I could never see
That I could be enough, that you’d want me
(Chorus)
I make myself so mad
‘Cause I don’t want to be sad
That I missed my chance way back when
We were free and we lay in the sun
We bared our souls – we were one
I kept it all inside, I could never see
That I could be enough, that you’d want me
(Chorus)
