Love, keep your eyes on the road 'Cause when I stare all I see is two foggy windows to a lost soul And maybe, maybe it's all my fault That it's so quiet on the drive home Babe, can I build my home in your mind? A disheveled maze, constellated and intertwined But somehow, my favorite kind and my favorite view When it untangles in the moonlight Darlin', we're gettin' older In less than eight months You'll wash tear stains off of your shoulder And drenched in alcohol and conceit The cold-blooded bodies quick on their feet Will tell you how to earn your stripes And you'll be listening while I sit here with glistening eyes As the stripes on my back chip and dry You won't be listening to my cries Anymore Ooh Ooh And we'll be two pieces of driftwood Floating in a sea of missed calls and excuses And your home will change into four walls and a mini fridge Instead of four limbs and lips to kiss But for now, the night is young And you are here and Snow Patrol just came on the radio So darlin', let's take Darlin', let's take the long way home Ooh Ooh Ooh Love, keep your eyes on the road

If home is where the heart is, why do I feel so fucking heartless? The crumbling skyline Cuts a vicious horizon Sinking its teeth into the cold September sky Decaying towers of steel Reach with crooked spires for the heavens Like bones of the hollow chest of this town Torn wide for the scavengers Mother mercy, take my hand Follow me through this forsaken land Father time, return what's mine The innocence you stole from these eyes 'Cause I just feel, I just feel numb For the vision burning before me Is one of former glory An icon cast in the light of freer times Now writhes in a bed of lies Hope doesn't live Hope doesn't live here Hope doesn't live Love doesn't live here anymore Anymore Anymore Mother mercy, take my hand Follow me through this forsaken land Father time, return what's mine The innocence you stole from these eyes 'Cause I just feel, I just feel numb I just feel numb I just feel numb I just feel numb Mother mercy, take my hand Follow me through this forsaken land Father time, return what's mine The innocence you stole from these eyes 'Cause I just feel, I just feel numb 'Cause I just feel, I just feel numb 'Cause I just feel, I just feel...

It's funny how Even now You still support me after all the things that I've done You're so good to me Waiting patiently And isn't it sad that you still have to ask if I care I never said I was perfect But I can take you away Walk on shells tonight Can't do right tonight And you can't say a word cause I leap down your throat So uptight am I I never said I was perfect But I can drive you home I got down on myself Working too hard Driving myself to death Trying to beat up the faults in my head What a mess I've made Sure we all make mistakes But they see me so large That they think I'm immune to the pain Walk on shells tonight Can't do right tonight And you can't say a word cause I leap down your throat So uptight am I I'm praying for a miracle But I won't hold my breath I never said I was perfect But can you take me home

It's been a while Since I let you Cross my mind I can let you run How could I let you go? Haven't seen you 'round for a while How could I let you go? Haven't seen you naked for a while It's been a while Since I let you Come around I could choose you, lover How could I let you go? Haven't seen you a 'round for a while And how could I let you go? Haven't seen you naked for a while Haven't seen you 'round here for a while Haven't seen you naked for a while
