When I Hit the Brakes

You said, I'm a shore, I can build our castles out of sand

The day, I got washed away and it's a long walk home again

I should have known, the look on your face

You climbed in the car, where you wanted to go

Rumors, I'd heard, no longer ignored

You opened your mouth but before you could speak

I said no, I really, don't think, I want to know

I really, don't think, I want to go that far, now

Let's just stay right where we are now

Live, well enough, alone

I squint at the road but I can still see

Windshield reflections, you're staring at me

You've something to say, that I don't want to hear

And it gets hard to drive, when I'm covering my ears

So, I say no, I really, don't think, I want to know

I really, don't think, I want to go that far down

I'd rather stay uninvolved now

These fevered confessions, frighten me and though you're my friend

I swear, if you don't stop soon, it's a long walk home again

You just won't quit, what made you believe

I wanted to hear the secrets you keep?

Now, I see what it takes, your head hits the windshield

When I hit the brakes

'Cause I said no, I really, don't think, I want to know

I really, don't think, I want to go that far now

Let's just stay right where we are now

I said no, I really, don't think, I want to know

I really, don't think, I want to go that far down

You've gotten me involved now

Now, look what you've done
