lyrics

The things you say
Could be taken so many ways
Sometimes I find it hard to keep my head on straight
Just a wink or a smile,
And we're walking down the aisle
But when you speak, the words are never worth the wait
We are all just chasing cars
From the sidewalk looking in
On the tide
I'll take a picture if you make a funny face
But moments lost
Are a heavy burden crossed
With the belief that maybe we are tempting fate

I turn around
Turn my back against this town
There's nothing to it, you just shout your favorite line
And if they hear,
You can either disappear
Or face the chorus with a universal sign
We are all just kissing off
May our elders remain damned
To the truth
I offer up a hearty toast
There's roads ahead
But you might as well be dead
If you believe you can escape your haunted ghosts

Every night I turn away
From another lonely day
And you tell me I'm mistaken, and you beg for me to stay
But every night I turn away

She won't mind
She's been with you all the time
Go on and tell her all the troubles of the world
May evil dare
To let its reign be shared
With equal blessings, and the promises unfurled
She smiles and shuts her eyes
As the music on the radio
Creates a subtle soundtrack
To this brief moment in time
And a gentle sigh
Is her only reply
In her arms, you watch the sun fade from the sky

Every night I turn away
From another lonely day
And you tell me I'm mistaken, and you beg for me to stay
But every night I turn away
