Lyrics

If romance was a highway
You and I were just passing through
On the fumes of its heady fuel
While the miles slipped away?

On the jersey shore
Under a cobalt sky
Searching within your eyes
To cover this distance
Down the eastern coast
In a room with a better view
A vehicle built for two
We two
Who?s to say when we?re wrong
When the feeling we felt so strong
Has faded and festered
Once new
Somehow we stumbled and fell
Into our own little private hell
Cruising south down the shore

And maybe it?s time that we woke up
Stepped on the brakes and sobered up
And from this endless night withdrew
And maybe it?s time that we slowed down
Rent out a room in some small town
And talk until this night is through

On the lonesome road
Where we?re still in the passing lane
And these stars they all look the same
As we go ever faster?
We?re through
It?s our story to tell
How our dreams slipped and shot to hell
While we slept at the wheel
