Feel it, the calm after the storm.
|
As still as I can be.
|
I'm finally all alone
|
until I fall asleep.
|
|
Did I escape or am I captured?
|
Trapped in a cage of rear view mirror eyes.
|
Triangles that look like faces.
|
|
This is what I get
|
for my revenge.
|
A hidden microphone,
|
an amber alert implanted
|
under my skin.
|
It's just in my head but
|
it takes me over.
|
It makes me forget why I'm on my way.
|
These four years feel like a hundred.
|
|
West-bound,
|
driving all alone to make sure that you know.
|
I've been running scared without you.
|
I drove all night to tell you.
|
In dreams I've seen your face with
|
another in my place.
|
I know it was another life but I never could forget you.
|
I never could forget you.
|
|
We set it up (we set it up)
|
like a house of cards in a hurricane.
|
We didn't think it would ever make sense.
|
|
He set us up (he set us up),
|
he knew just where to plant it.
|
|
It knocked me over,
|
it made me forget how I fell in love.
|
How much I really cared.
|
|
West-bound,
|
driving all alone to make sure that you know.
|
I've been running scared without you.
|
I drove all night to tell you.
|
In dreams I've seen your face with
|
another in my place.
|
I know it was another life but I never could forget you.
|
I never could forget you.
|
|
You'll see me there like a familiar stranger standing on the street.
|
I'll say a prayer, I'll introduce myself like it's the first time we'd ever meet.
|
In California, I'd learn that sometimes you have to run away.
|
In California, I'd find myself again.
|
|
West-bound,
|
driving all alone to make sure that you know.
|
I've been running scared without you.
|
I drove all night to tell you.
|
In dreams I've seen your face with
|
another in my place.
|
I know it was another life but I never could forget you.
