lyrics

one night you dreamed we all got happy endings
and when you woke the sky was spitting rain
you walked outside and all the trees were bending
bowing to the cars in the fast lane
bowing to the cars in the fast lane

we start our engines, fly along the highway
we try to catch the sun that's setting fast
we know we're missing each and every byway
but i, like you, am scared of coming last
but you and i are scared of coming last

and oh don't look at your wheels getting rusty
sitting still on side roads, side roads made of glass
i know you feel like your heels are getting dusty
but please just stay awhile, don't let this pass
but please just stay awhile, don't let this pass

but if you reach the harbor i hope it saves you
i hope you turn the engine off and breathe
and maybe you will think of me and everything i gave you
and all the fear and love i kept beneath
and all the fear and love we kept beneath

and oh your wheels they rolled along and never rusted
gouging marks in side roads, side roads made of glass
of all the people i never should've trusted
you were the one i wished would never pass
but you never lingered long, you let me pass
