I've chased this blue moon down all night
have I been gaining any ground?
Your picture's stapled to my dash
I'm done killing time in gray ghost towns
I'm heading south in search of life
The blinding turns, the twisting knives
Now I'm just driving straight on
I'll scrape the freezing rain
From off this window pane
A couple states from sane
Eyes aching, drift awaken
Until the ice bleeds blue
Until the green shoots through
Until I get to you
I'll brace for your screen door
Gravity struck, I rolled downhill
Seen depths I've never seen before
It's hard to warm against concrete
You can't wrap your arms around a floor
So now I beat a fast retreat back
To SLP and your street
Can you just hold on?
Living reckless and naive
It's always so easy to leave
But then it's hard to get back
I closed my eyes and I looked at you
Counted up all of my mistakes
Choked some more muddy coffee back
And did my best just to stay awake
If I could just stay awake
Don't know why I left you
