Dear, do you hear what I hear?
The crackle, of fear in the atmosphere (Mm)
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, it’s my favorite kind
And my favorite view
When it untangles in the moonlight
Darlin’, we’re getting oldеr
In less than 8 months you’ll wash tear stains off of your shoulder
And drеnched 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)
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 darling, let’s take
Darling, let’s take the long way home (Ooh)
Love, keep your eyes on the road
