Story Behind The Song
Driving always clears my head. I wanted to write a song where the subject uses that to clear his head AND find the resolve to make the long overdue decision to commit to his girl. Is it too late? There's an idea for another song!
Song Description
A drive across the country to clear the head after a fight with a lover. The drive clarifies things and the subject realizes that the girl he hurt is the only one that will do. He returns home and finally says- it felt great running away. But I'll never runaway again unless it's with you. We can make this work- just stick with me.

Lyrics
I feel like I've lived lifetimes, asunder
Always following the white lines
but longing for the beckoning thunder
Life could be so much better so I wrote you this letter
To pull my thoughts together, this storm won't last forever
Help me light this fuse
I wanna give it all to you, you're the one, I'm done
I wanna give it all to you, the only one I rely upon
I dreamed that you were crying and I came and rescued you
It was like something inside you was dying, and I felt like crying too
We're gonna just keep drivin', see the skies above brighten
Courage girl now don't be frightened, the road ahead will widen
as we get closer to the truth
Chorus
You've got a way I can't refuse
So I'll give it all to you
You've got a way that I can't refuse
Spent so long waitin' we're both due
So now there's absolutely nothing I've got left to lose
I'm gonna give it all to you
