the traffic of the day starts to melt into the night
and i'm the only one on this stretch of road tonight
my eyes grow pale and white and block my line of sight
fully draped with tears that justify my flight

looking to the left and veering towards the right
until the sudden crash of water darkens all the light
and the cab it slowly fills and it drowns out all my fears
and these lungs fill up until my tears have disappeared

the sun is gone and the moon fills the sky
silently weeping through the emptiness of night
clouded cotton swirls around it's wedding gown
little piece of twilight come crashing down

so when i alienated myself from everyone who cared
you stood with me like a soldier ready to fight
and in one instant without a 4 letter word comes a crashing blow
that empties the breath from my chest

i saw you shut the light off
i can wait out here all night
