Song Description

A song of love, loss and redemption

Lyrics

There were days I was on fire
The asphalt and the wheel
And though the rearview was always empty
I knew ghosts were chasin' up the highway

I drove through nights so empty
Too afraid to look behind me
And as the radio jumped stations
I knew ghosts were chasin' up the highway

But she would cool me
She'd calm me
She'd sooth
Forgive me

It was a perefct circle
Would lead me home to you
Yeah, a perefct circle
I knew just what to do
A perfecr circle

If I crossed a hundred deserts
Drove a million miles or more
No matter how much space between us
I know ghosts will chase me up the highway

A man is always chasin' something
But no matter how he runs
When he's stripped of his illusions
He knows ghosts will chase him up the highway

But she would cool me
She'd calm me
She'd sooth me
Forgive me

It was a perfect circle
Would lead me home to you
Yeah, a perefect circle
I knew just what to do
A perfect circle

I never realised how hurt she could be
Until that day I saw her face
As she listened to me
And in the space of a sentence
I broke her heart to pieces
And now I'm far beyond forgiveness

Oh Lord how I've ached
To be redeemed with her beside me
But the side of me that's heartless
Has reached the limits of this land
We would lay down in the dunes
We would watch the shooting stars
Where the only faith and certainty
Was the belief she had in me

Perfect circle
Perfect circle

It was a perfect circle
Would lead me home to you
Yeah, a perefect circle
I knew just what to do
A perfect circle

It was a perfect circle
Would lead me home to you
Yeah, a perefect circle
I knew just what to do
A perfect circle
