Headlights Off

by Some Random Human   Jul 31, 2010


I've got somethin' on my mind,
I feel like I'm in such a bind,
and I thought I might as well just tell you,
that I've drove this road a million times,
but I never seem to leave you behind,
I know it wasn't right the way I failed you,

It's 3:00 A.M., got my headlights off,
drivin' around in the dark,
and yet somehow I still see your face,
people honk as they pass by,
I guess they just don't know why,
I'm drivin' so slow in this life-long race,

Think I'll give up, think I'll call it quits,
I've had enough, I'm done with it,
you let me go because I couldn't help you,
I can't even help myself,
you gave up, so I might as well,
forget about all the times I held you,

It's 3:00 A.M., got my headlights off,
drivin' around in the dark,
and yet somehow I still see your face,
I shut my eyes so I won't see,
your sad face lookin' back at me,
maybe if I die I'll go to a better place,

I see a flash of light, hear a blast of sound,
open my eyes and look around,
I hope this news doesn't derail you,
I see police and an ambulance,
doesn't look like I stand a chance,
but there's so much more I wanted to tell you,

Well it was 3:00 A.M., I had my headlights off,
I was drivin' around in the dark,
the only thing I saw was your face,
it's so dark that I can't see,
all I feel is misery,
check my pulse to see, just in case,

It's 3:00 A.M., got my headlights off,
drivin' around in the dark,
and yet somehow I still see your face,
this is one lonely road,
but I still can't let you go,
this is what it's like to fall from grace,

Well it's 3:00 A.M., got my headlights off,
drivin' around in the dark,
just trying to see your face...
