The Trek

Stalling out On the streetcar tracks Could I make it to Biloxi And back And I will wait To call you now Till I got a good thing to talk about And several hours Out of our hometown With a lightning strike Shaking the highway around Could we stay put? Or turn back now? I should've known If I wait Till I'm alone To send my love Then a good thing's gone Then a good thing's gone And I drive fast To cancel out The 2 to 3 hours It takes to leave the house Talking alone To an empty room Oh I should've known We'll both take Two more months To respond Till a good thing's gone Till a good thing's gone It feels wrong to know you now But there ain't one thing changed Since I last came around And I can't stand to watch from afar Makes it harder on me To know where you are For every day we spend together there's sixty apart All around us Like an atlas She calls me home Between the silence Surrounds us And calls me home And I Wanna reach out Wanna call you And let you know I'll make The trek love In an instant I'm not alone
