... So I Drove Off

Folder: 
Rearview

I dropped you off

And you slammed the door

Tried to speak but my lips wouldn't move

So I drove off with an echo in my ear

I don't know why I cannot tell you...

These things that I fear, I cannot tell you



Your curb is cold

And your lights are running dim

Is it too late for me to stop by

Cause your curb is so cold

And your lights are fading away

Is it too much to ask you why

You're burning out



And as you came outside

You had your perfume on

And I know for sure, this time it's not for me

So I drove off with that memory of you haunting

I don't know why I cannot tell you...

These thing that I'm wanting, I cannot tell you



Your curb is cold

And your lights are running dim

Is it too late for me to stop by

Cause your curb is so cold

And your lights are fading away

Is it too much to ask you why

You're burning out



I want to pull you to me

I want to kiss you until you bleed

What I'd give to just taste your skin

It's more than I've ever before been willing



But tonight the curb is cold

And the lights are running dim

Is it too late for me to stop by and drop in

Cause the curb is so damn cold tonight

And the lights are slowly fading away

Was it too much for me to ask

Why you were burning out



Tonight the curb is cold

And I get the impression I should keep on driving



Should I keep on driving (Silence)

Should I keep on driving (Silence)

Should I keep on driving (Silence)

... So I drove off
