lyrics

everyone overlaps in the house
never learned to detach myself
in the car knuckles white on the wheel
sorting out how i really feel

the only time i could ever really be alone
was after dropping everybody off at home
waiting for the stop sign to turn green
blinking through the high beams

leaving now and i don't have to tell you where i'm going

friday night pick you up for the drive
park along the roadside
kissing you with an eye on the door
never sure what i'm waiting for

the only time we could ever be alone
neither of us really knew what was going on
shadow moving in the wet field
just you in the windshield

leaving now and i don't i don't have to tell you where i'm going
