Lyrics
Half-way to nowhere,
I guess this is running away:
when the wheels have run bald; she won't last another day.
But you drive if that will keep your mind
off of those places we've seen.
When car wrecks aren't an uncommon sight
for those of us who drive all through the night
like we do, but why?
I didn't conquer fear.
I've nothing to be revered for,
I just found that I was scared to be without you more.
So we'll play these little games,
and maybe learn what lies beyond our names,
when nothing was wagered of any worth, anyways.
Well look at you now,
and how you've been seeded with my secrets,
but do the trees that grow from your back
keep you from walking a straight line?
Now look at me,
with these snakelike tendencies;
I'd apologize for them all
if I could only shed this skin of someone else.
'Cause I --
I didn't conquer fear.
I've nothing to be revered for,
I just found that I was scared to be without you more.
So we'll play these little games,
and maybe learn what lies beyond our names,
don't forget: nothing was wagered of any worth, anyways.
As ride into this sunset,
can you see that it blinds us as it dies?
Yeah, it's a bitter taste of love,
but it's enough.
I didn't conquer fear.
I've nothing to be revered for,
I just found that I was scared to be without you more.
I don't know where we are;
I've forgotten who I am.
It's a bitter taste of love, but it's enough.
